These are the only things which can be improved according to me:

1: I think you should use less focal blur, it seems to be to much for me.

2: Try to find a real TVR model.

3: use radiosity (if possible) this might make it look more realistic.

3: Change the color (black perhaps :-P)

BTW: how did you make the "table" which it stands on? is it just a simple
image map? I like it.
