No worries Bernie, there are always new kits sneaking onto the market it's hard to keep up

It's may possible to pull the wool over the authorities eyes, and build a replica and pass it off as an original '65, but you would have to build in 40yrs ofage, wear and tear, all period components such as brakes, master cyls etc.

As for building a "new" replica to '65 specs I doubt very much as they still consider it a new vehicle, and would want to apply current ADR's, though one of the local approving engineers, John Wilson, built an XJ 13 racing Jag replica, about 14 years back, and i believe has it road registered.

Are you coming to the BBQ on sunday? Be good to meet you, and Pete can fill you in on the two thirds rule that hot rodders work under.
