Another FAKE.
P50's were not made as a kit and especially not in 1961
Shiny wheels? No way! The half finished chassis plate isn't cut out correctly and hasn't a stamped number.
Why do they bother?

I spoke to the owner of this and he says its a replica kit of a 1961 P50, besides the fact that they didn't come on the scene until 1963 he is not trying to pass it off as a real one. Its just a replica project that didn't get very far. No intent to mislead.

You mean its a replica replica with not quite right wrong bits etc? MIght be the lightweight racer, hence no chassis.

seems a fair enough ad to me . no claim for originality at all and a clear photo of the new chassis plate tells the story

Does that mean it could have been bought with genuine new fake cash like I can buy in Oxford, alledgedly?
