The whole discussion of "kit, replica, component, continuation" or whatever other descriptive term one can come up with, to me is silly. There are only originals that ended in 68 and everything else isn't. I don't really want to get involved in that argument and everyone can call their car whatever as far as I'm concerned. So long as it isn't passed off as or mislead as an original, whatever. I think the history being accurate IS important though.
If I could afford it, I would have an original but currently my bank account won't allow it. I love seeing a car that closely replicates an original though. The work and commitment it takes to get it there is surprisingly difficult if done right. I can appreciate it though but civilians often can't as they don't know much about the cars, original or not.
Anyway, back to the show!
