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.

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