I agree with Lancelot.
Its a pretty car and it was well presented.
The trouble arises with the word "replica" as soon as its mentioned everybody expects a millimetre perfect reproduction.
Albeit they don't want them to be unsymmetrical.

Which makes me laugh as all early specialist cars were hand formed and varied greatly.
The cobra is inches different on both sides. no less pretty but hard for people to accept.

More modern cars like the MGF are also twisted as standard. the first batch especially so.

So the wording evocation or inspired by is much safer and will not encourage people to look for the differences.
