In my opinion this is a direct copy. The only reason this differs at all from Bram's is probably because he couldn't get all the parts he wanted. To say that Bram's Diablo is a rendition of the real car is totally beside the point. Bram spent hours (...) (23 years ago, 27-Dec-02, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.de)
