It is basically an exact clone.

The details of an original Type 35 are present on this one, right down to the square bolts and the leather pads bushing various shafts throughout the engine bay.
“We’ve got all the weird little quirky things in it, like all the leather couplings and all that,” Bothwell said, pointing at things in the engine bay. “You’ve got your leather camshaft coupling and supercharger coupling.”
While there are all those wonderfully accurate details like the square bolt heads, machined surfaces, wire fasteners and cable pullies, there are a few differences from the original: There is a plain bearing crank instead of Ettore’s roller bearing crank; a dry clutch instead of a wet clutch; the firing order of the straight eight is more efficient; one of the belt drives under the hood is not the original leather; and there are CNC-machined, instead of hand-machined, wheels.
But come on, man, we can live with those changes. They save on maintenance and don’t have an effect on the driving experience or on the viewing experience. And none of those things changed the character of the car.

Never should have sold mine..... :'(

Same here with my '68 Bronco, never should've sold it.  Another car I should have kept is a '67 Lotus Elan, didn't have much choice since I wrecked it.

I'm not sure that this is my final answer, but it's a contender.

That would work.   It would be my first American car in, oh, forty something years.
