Locost McLaren
Well if you can call £20k Locost.
Not a bad effort at all !
Some of the console switches look a bit old/tired/rusty .............

For around £1,000,000 less than the real deal I think I could forgive some 'tired' gauges!  
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

i've always thought replicas as a poor-man's pretending to be rich kinda thing, but he puts it into perspective well.
Think i'd rather design a car as 'inspired by' rather than 'copy of' though still, still the satisfaction of being
totally 'your own car' without looking like something you're not.
Plus is it me or does the chassis look a bit 'bendy' in the front-middle area? wonder if the original's looked like that

Original "chassis" was carbonfibre so a steel equivilent would be less rigid.
Have to agree the interior does not match the amazing work done on the exterior, but it is still a very reasonable job inside!

I agree, unless the replica is going to be near perfect or of cars no longer built. like the GT40's
Then I think it's better to go the inspired route rather then be compared all the time and of course a replica will never be as good as the
original.
