I do go along with Rick’s definition of „replica“ which has been used by Jaguar for the XK120 non-record braking street version of the „real“ record braker. But „replica“ has changed it’s definition. We all know that.

The correct answer for the man in the street to the question:
Is it an original (meanning the 60s) MAY be
a. Yes, build in the 60s worth $600.000
b. No, build by Kirkham, worth $100.000
c. No, build by „xyz“ worth $xx.xxx

What they actually want to write home is: I saw and touched a $600.000 427 Cobra.

Sometimes I wish I had another hobby, or at least passion for another car.
