Almost genuine??? Depends on which is more important: form or function.
It may look like a TF, but it's really a rebodied MGB. I drove one a
number of years ago and was not impressed. Much faster in a straight
line than a genuine TF, but didn't handle as well. Poorly executed
seating and pedal layout. Felt a lot more cramped than a real TF.
