  2. That's a 120, not a 150.

    2. Thanks for posting it - that car is still beautiful, all these years later. I has a '52 DHC and have never owned a car that good looking since.

  3. Beautiful car, but not a "factory" race car and there never was a "120R". Wire wheels with spats? Never happen, no room for the knock-off hubs. All factory race cars had steel wheels in that era and the spats (fender skirts) were always removed. The head rest, nacelle looks like a complete fabrication along with the hard tonneau cover and windscreen. At least it has the correct steering wheel.

    But I'm picking nits - a beautiful car well presented. I just do not like misrepresentation. It's a modern interpretation and thats fine.
