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.
