    I'm no expert but a few observations
    - don't overall lines seem flatter than original examples? biggest issue for me
    - left hand drive vs right hand drive
    - interior and dash are not close to correct
    - wheels are chrome instead of grey metal
    - shfiter looks off?

    just a few observations

    Thanks for being bold and stepping forward with an opinion, Doug.

    I agree completely that the car seems flatter than the originals.

    There were a few left hand drive TRs made, so that doesn't bother me. But it looks fish-lipped in the front, and square in the rear. The whole rear portion seems square and odd.

    Thanks again,

    Matt

    It seems that the wheelbase is too long, maybe they didn't cut the chassis?

    Could be the 2600mm wheelbase of the original GTE.
