FFR MK4 . Some great new additions
Looks like FFR is reacting to what the people have been asking for.

Easy chief, it was simply a comment about what to look for to distinguish the FFR ... a bit touchy?  |

The new body looks pretty nice, from what I can see. It was a big deal for me when I was looking for a car to build. I think it will boost sales for them.

It looks good but I'm most impressed that they added some sort of levitation device!

And yet a 3rd view and similar angle for both cars. Compare for yourself. New MK4 shape vs. original Dick Smith Cobra. With a close look, are the rear, sides, doors, and profile the same?
Another few big differences I can see right off the bat that changes the look of the sides of each car is the level, height, entry/exit points, and design of the original big block side pipes as compared to the Mk4; then compare side vents in relationship to the front wheel arch, distance from fender lip and placement. Subtle variables can change the look from one make/body to another. Also, it may just be the photo, but I still see a an uphill rake to the back underside of the FFR car sweeping upward from the rear tires to the back of the car as compared to the original. One will only know comparing them side by side in person if you are trying to compare to Dick's 198 car.

Yep, it isn't exact. But than again it's not an original, it's a "Replica" just like ERA, Superformance, Contemporary, Unique, etc.......

I hear the big news around this development is that it is in fact a Continuation replica kit car.
