    Ricarrozzata, means re-bodied, a very valid Italian word, yet you are right it does sound like pasta :)

    So? Its not a SWB - its a hotrod. I bet its a real hoot to flog around too. I think it looks pretty good.

    Come on Paul a bit harsh to say "only vaguely" and it's cheaper than your GTE

    Kim.....The front end of the car is totally wrong and typical of 250 SWB replicas......Its too 'flat faced'. The subtle curve of the bodywork above the front grille is non existant. Believe me it looks far better in the photos than in the flesh. I'm highly relieved its cheaper than my real GTE !... Come to think of it your 'TDF' aint worth what your real Lusso was ....

    B*tch !

    Flat faced maybe but does not equate to writing it off as vague in my book. Not my cup of tea but I imagine it will be fun too drive. As for relative merits between real or replica I would say there is more enjoyment to be derived from a night out with Jordan then a Nun

    I hear this in every recreation thread, that some angle is wrong. You may be right, but I find it amusing that it seems as though the recreations body can never be right, someone always claims it's wrong.!

    I have seen a lot of pictures of the shops that build these cars and most seem to have good wire frames that they work off. I would assume many were taken off of original cars, so some of them have to be "right". Right?
