So, how about those Jaguars? Go ahead, try to convince Jag that they are making "replicas". If it works here, it has to work there too.


So how about those Jaguars?
According to Motor Trend Magazine, the remaining 6 Jaguars are constructed exactly as the originals. Same welds, same frame, same parts, same factory, same rivets. Every detail is an exact copy of the originals. So a comparison to the modern Shelby cobra is a moot point.
And, the remaining 6 are referred to as continuation cars. Not originals, continuations.
Now, as to how the owners of one of these continuation cars refers to his car remains to be seen. It is an EXACT copy of the original, indistinguishable from an original.
