Please don't turn this into a flame war.
I'm just trying to understand why there are so few T-70
coupe replicas in existance. Whether it's Lola lawyers, or
perceived lack of a market by those with molds, or whether
the T-70 coupe has flaws (beyond normal sports car flaws)
that I need to be made aware.

I appreciate Mark's input since the GTD-70 is the only
Lola kit I've seen photos of. But other than Derek's green demonstrator, I've not seen or heard opinions on any other T-70 coupe replica....GTD or any other manufacturer.

Jim from NYC (MK IV- J6) tools around in an original
T-70 (!!), but I can't use that as a yardstick since a
mono replica is out of my price range.
Hence the request for any info/opinions on the subject.

I get the impression there are others in the US who would
like a T-70 replica coupe, but want to touch/feel before
laying out a significant chunk of currency.
Hopefully we'll get a chance in the future to do so.
