Certainly NOT anti-replica myself!
Ditto Trevor`s comment regarding good or bad replicas, OK, a vast amount of it is down to personal taste, but don`t expect an easy resale if you opt for a pink naugahyde interior!
Building replicas was nearly my business of choice in the late 80`s, but that`s another story!
The quality of engineering in most of the currently available replicas is certainly on a par with some smaller mainstream manufacturers, and I couldn`t be happier than if I went to my garage & found a Hawk 39PH replica waiting for me! (Ask "Hawk 289" on this forum about his enviable stable!)
My only issue is with misrepresenting a replica as real or trying to get top money for a 'not top' car from the unsuspecting Joe Public.
It`s hard to tell from these photographs, but it certainly doesn`t look like a £30k car to me. Maybe Mr.L was a tad uncharitable...
but could you live with that dash? [
