my tuppence worth....

I spent sometime chatting on the FFR stand. Its a nice car, and a good build route.
Attractive young lady on the stand should have helped the sales [- is that sexist?]

Apparently the seats were 'odd' for sva seat belt height purposes, and the 'coathangers' on the dash were an SVA solution suggested by the testing station. Not sure why they didnt fix these for the show.

Things I wasnt keen on, (purely because I am becoming an anorak and want an authentic traditional looking car for my next project):

Well-engineered, but non-traditional bonnet hinge.
Roll bar legs - would prefer these to be visibly mounted inside cockpit as per original.
Foot wells: non-original shape.

Good stuff:
Fit
Finnish
Chassis quality
Completeness

The back end looked fine to me. and the product looked good. The colour scheme and overall finish was very good, IMHO. Worth the money. Brochures very nice too.
