Kapesh?
And to keep this tortured analogy going further, the curators at the Lourve and/or Metropolitan in NY (Ned and other board members) say it's a copy, a REPLICA. And not genuine. In fact, the owner of the "Mona Lisa" copy, Evan, admits it's a replica.

Ferrari doesn't make copies of their 1960's cars and they don't sell kits. Ferrari's have evolved, like the Porsche 911 and Corvette and become entirely LEGAL & REGISTER-ABLE cars. The modern Shelby Cobra replica cannot. Oh well.

As for the Registry, a) it's going to change and b) they ALSO use words like Cobra-like and true replica.
