Yes, lots of people were copying Ferrari back then. That's probably the closest
I've seen to all the roadster styling cues.

No one seems to really know the roadster styling origin, I like to think it
came from the Ferrari 250GT Pinin Farina Cabriolet Series I, introduced in
1957, body lines are very similar to the roadster except for the MGB
tailights ;-)
