Thats good news that the car is being restored, the owner could use the current body for a 2030 replica hot rod for the race track [

That is a very fair point Ned, the guys who were looking after the car said they built it from scratch .

Aaron, everyone who races at Members Meeting is meant to FIA HTP papers. For Cobra's which are well documented the difference between original vs fiction should be much easier (same for ferrari, e-Types, Mini, AC', etc.) the biggest problem is low production / next tier of racing. I wish I could run the Daimler as in period with limited slip diff, IDF downdraft and R&P steering which are all well known changes from 1960 to 1963 but that is a fight for another day. I wonder if a different approach could be taken.
a. In period racing we all have to run the same tyres, so modern compounds are equal
b. All meant to run to original specification
So if a car in period never got beaten by another car even under different drivers, well why does it get beaten now? If a car is doing lap times that are 5-10 seconds a lap more than period, why? if this is the case pull the car out for a nice inspection. Owners would start getting the message, if you are pulled out at every race you will either a) change or b) find something else to do.
The three cars entered for this weeekend are certainly not three of the six cars originally built !
