OH MY GOD!!! Talk about a historical car!!! That thing is amazing. Its probably worth some big money also if its actually one of the winning cars. It may be a replica, but I dont think so.

I wouldnt doubt if that thing was the real deal. I dont know of any comopanies that arte developing replicas of this car. But you never know. Its still a beauty even if its a fake. I dont think its a fake though
