Real or Replica?

[ducatiman]

Not this again.....................

The selection of manufacturer is the choice of the builder and his reasons for that selection should be respected, what is more interesting is watching the development and progress of each individual build as no two replica's are the same. If someone wants to select and install the latest available V6 engine with air conditioning so what, and if an individual wants to get that original switch and tacho for his dash, good for him..................We all have a reason why we want to build a Stratos replica and most of the time is that we love the look of the car. Look at it, for a design that is over 40 years old it is outstanding....................

All our replica's are also built within the constraints of an individuals skills, available time and the biggest factor will always be the budget to complete the project...............

So lets just congratulate an individual who builds his replica and gets it on the road, the joy that it will bring to him and others around...............

I've been on here just about a year. I've also looked through a ton of build threads and have an LB on order. In all honesty, aside from the motor, steering wheel and chassis, I have a hard time telling the difference from a lot of the cars. Of course I can tell the difference between steel and fiberglass, but from a visual standpoint it isn't easy to tell the difference.

With no tax disc required nowadays it is even harder to tell that the flash Ferrari you are looking at is actually a Toyota under the skin, with fake panels, engine cover and wide wheels.

That was my favourite pastime at Stoneleigh in May. So that's another thing gone.

I did notice in the last couple of years that a lot more kit cars are correctly registered. More than I expected.
