Re: mmm Replicas

Love that RS200,and to be fair it seemed like a bit of a ford kit car when it was made and you see so few on the road it would be a pleasure to spot real or not. Can't say I like the ferrari, I don't dislike some of them (the better lambos do look good but that one looks somehow wrong :? :thumleft:

Re: T-Top vs Tin Top

If it was the same year/spec then I would be tempted,but mines a 92 rev2 with some nice mods which didn't come cheap.
