faux Gullwing on eBay

[lurtch]

Just a quick note:

There is an interesting Gullwing replica on eBay right now.
The accompanying text says it was produced by Tony Ostermeier in 1989.

Do any of us have any knowledge of these?

Hello Larry, this company Ostermeier has produced quite a few of these replicas

I'm not quite sure how MB have turned a blind eye to them, considering what they did to this replica, which has been discussed on here a few times. They clearly differentiate them for some reason
