At one point in time, may still be so, a high quality French firm would only install an aly Daytona body on an original chassis. Saw two that were very nice indeed about 10 years ago or so at Versailles and the Oldtimer summer meeting at the Berg.

Might have to do with French copyright law, also. Seems to me they had an agreement with CS or the French TUV required an actual car as a basis. Remember, at least some of the time he lives in Monaco, which is part of French registration law.

Can't recall which was more important.

NOT CHEAP and very correct.
