I thought so Chris. It doesn't say whether it has Italian registration. Not sure about the top door gaps, but I guess it makes it look more original 😂
Looking at the over centre catches it looks like it could be one of the Chronosport cars/builds?

I did wonder that Craig, but it says restored 2 years ago?
Edit - definitely Chronosport; there are photos of it on their website. Not sure about their 290,000€ start price for a car though!!! Their replica suspension parts are engineering art.

Yes, plenty of nice work in the browsing photos.
Are the front spindles and bottom arms machined out of solid? Can't quite decide if the finish is laser cut in some way or cnc machining. Anyone elucidate?
Overall it looks a good replica but quite whether the price is justified I couldn't say.
I do quite like their 'modernised' version of the Grp 4 dash though looks a bit sparse in instrumentation.
They carry machining marks all over them but I wonder if the lower arms especially are cast and then cleaned up on the CNC.
Did somebody mention them using Hawk bodies?
Their 037 project looks interesting 😁
