There are dozens of cobra`s, c type jags, gt40`s and the list goes on and on. Most of these replica/kit cars are probably better than the originals from an engineering point of view. Some of the body kits like the stuff from yesteryear were shite, things like the dino body that dropped on a vw and the capri thing that looked like a aston the mrs washed. If its done properly and stuck on to something that moves its arse along who are we to knock it?
