I was being polite.It looks like some child received a riveting set for christmas.My T252 has been out on the road twice this week,even in the rain.Cars are for using that is after all what they were designed for.This T57 seems to have been built simply to show off.Still,if you like it thats fine.It takes all sorts to make a world.

It does not look remotely like this one ! Where are all the rivets? Even around the scuttle and cockpit.What possible purpose do they serve? Also holes in the tail? It is a splendid thing but what is it supposed to be?

My T50 special is a wonderful toy.I think even Ettore would have smiled [ but he would have given this poor mechanic a proper engine to fit in it]

Just to add another perspective I think this car comes across very well in the Octane magazine road test.
Having seen it myself at Cadwell i have to say it is striking.

JB i would summerise it as a very accurate rendition of a car that no longer exists.
