None of this is any reflection on Gerry's cars as the same would also apply to an original. They are a great looking car though and I could be tempted myself.

Gerry is currently in a pretty acrimonious dispute with Top Gear after they slated one of his Stratos replicas in a feature they did towards the end of last year.

I think that was a perfect lap! Hope they retest it...certainly gave the Sweeds more than a few tries at the Lap.

Yup, I'm well acquainted with the interior...not any worse for me than when I would get in and out my old Butler with the top up. Easier ingress/egress than a GT40 because of the lack of the latter's stepover.
