[Durt]

Any opinions on Pete Brock's SPF coupe displayed at the Historicals last weekend?
I'm afraid I remain unconvinced. While I realize the intent was not to make an uncomfortable carbon copy of the Daytona (ala McCluskey's continuations,) the SPF iteration just seems too cush for me to take seriously. From the (somewhat cheesy) faux velour door inserts with crank windows, to the massive 18" wheels that look like they'd be more at home on a Viper, this car seems to be caught in the 'fish nor fowl' dilemma like the Cobra roadsters you see with Recaro seats, headrests, automatics and fully modern amenities. All perfectly acceptable unless you're more of an authenticity buff.
The fact that it's been made larger also added to the visible "?" in my thought balloon.
I wish them a lot of luck - but for my 90K, if I want a top and air conditioning, I'd have to opt for the CAV GT-40.
