Wouldnt be too bad without the flares.

Unfortunately, although it comes with all the equipment, there would be very few people who could build another one. Its a dying art.

The car looks kinda better in real life..... The quality of work is pretty good and I believe it has a lot of Kirkham gear chassis / suspension wise. The interior is full of plane vents and switches which looks pretty cool. The Guy who built it also built an alloy body Cobra aswell a few years ago.

Personally I don't mind it but I like the Willment Coupe better.

A very difficult shape to replicate and therefore very impressive as a one-off.

Difficult to tell from the photos whether the proportions on this replica are exactly the same as A98 though and it would look better in my opinion with paint!

This is A98 - a low and elegant car in the metal:

I agree... she needs paint! But I certainly wouldn't through her out of my garage for leaking oil
