There are very few "exacting" replicas around, even some "original" cars have been rebodied somewhat inaccurately. As far as I can tell all the commercially available bodies have details that are not correct and which allow the trained eye to discern them from truly authentic and original cars. Some may say this fact is important to stop fakes being passed off as real, and of course "detail" only really matters to a very small number of discerning enthusiasts but is still worth noting in my opinion.

That paint is far too shiny Ruairidh, I can see the gravel reflected in it!

What on earth is going on with the radiator on the maroon special?

This car is going to live on the Isle of Lewis - the shine won’t last long…

I think we have to appreciate that the writer had nothing to do with the car, and probably no knowledge or understanding of this type of car. Reading carefully, it was built by his father and grandfather, who are now no longer with us.
Ignore the words and maybe the car is a competent special.

I suspect it's something to do with this...

Ah, thanks Nick…a proper special then!

Good to see a flying grommet...

I think for that price I would expect a hood and tonneau cover.
