I can see where you are on that ...trouble with car design is its all copied or influenced by ...I can see shades of Spitfire in it too ...not obviously but its along the lines of ..problem is any 60's era sports car is going to share
similar qualities ...

look at the rear light angle , hipped rear quarters , wheel arches , even the bumpers !!
59-64 Maserati 3500 GT is similar too ... the list goes on and on ...
My old Sammio gets referenced to Lancias ..mostly because I quoted that as an influence on my 'storyboard' but there is equally comparable lines to Maserati , AC , Ferrari , Kurtis 500 , Mercedes etc etc etc... its all generic .
It looks like a good job well done to me and they will have a market for them ...you basically pays your money and makes your choice !!
I said years ago Retro and going backwards was the way forward ...makes me smile to see major players taking that path now classic cars have soared in popularity and price ...how many will follow ?
