kinda reminds me of that '50s F1 replica they tested on top gear a few weeks back...the wheels look modern to me, but it doesnt comply at all with american safety standards (and judging by the background i'd say he lives in california or sumn), so it might well be an original old car...im curious also

I took the picture, yes it's in California. I certainly wouldn't say "kit car", although it may have been handbuilt. The craftsmanship on it was sublime. It was like seeing an old warbird fighterplane on wheels. Check out the seats.

I think I saw that in a US car magazine a number of years ago - some chap in California commisioned a hand made classic roadster built around the F456 or F550 engine.

My first thought was a modified Morgan, but it's left-hand drive.
Probably a custom-built car.

It looks like a kit car. And yes, it is California. To be more specific it is in Monterey near Pacific Grove.
