Reading about the latest tremblingly-gorgeous Restomod (the Cyan) got me thinking about the differences between a replica like a Lister Bell or Hawk vs. (say) an Alfaholics GTA-R. Donor engine to one side, for just a sec, how close is an LB to being a Restomod? What defines such a car? Is it solely the engine that makes the Stratos variants replicas rather than a resto? It's just that there is this commonly held snobbery attachment to replicas whereas a Restomod like an Eagle or Singer is absolutely fawned over. And priced accordingly, obvs.

Don't get me wrong, I personally couldn't care less what others think about "our" cars. There appears to be a bit of a grey area when it comes to defining what makes a Restomod appended such a categorisation? Or - as could well be the case - I'm talking entirely out of my behind.

Cheers,
