I meant to watch but managed to miss it…hopefully it will be repeated at some point so I can catch up on what I missed!
I guess some folk in historics are like that, but strictly it’s a ‘continuation’ not a replica as it’s built by the original manufacturer to the same spec as the first 12 cars. Also according to Jaguar’s website it has the correct FIA HTP papers so is acceptable for historic motorsport.
Yeh, enjoyed that… I get lord March’s point though, something built in 2015 just isn’t historic no matter how faithfully it has ‘copied’ the build of the original, and if he wants 100% ‘in period’ on his own private race track, fair enough
How many "genuine original " Historics have new chassis, new bodywork, new suspension components all attached to an original rivit found under the workbench of some subcontractor…it is alleged that at least two Frord Gt 4+s have the same chassis no and still race in historics.
Where there is BIG money there will be a way. I am told!!
So yes by all means allow them what about continuation Lister Knoblys,Jag D types and the hoards of AC Cobras.and Lola T70s and Chevrons and GT 40s
…shall I go on
As long as the owners dont try to pass them up as “ORIGINAL”
