   My first thought was "oh lhd" but then again if you were doing Monaco with a ditsy bimbo to hold your gearstick then why not?

It is, I was amazed that when they remade it they kept it as pretty. Even if it was then 4 inches taller...

It's registration status is a little suspect, since it's not a '1965 Ford GT' but rather a kit car made much, much more recently.. (CAV are a South African kit supplier) Which probably means it's using a 'borrowed' chassis number from a real GT40 in the US or similar trick to get it registered without having to go through the Dutch equivalent of the IVA (quite common in some circles, but I'm sure the DVLA are going to cotton on to this practice eventually)
