Boss Replica Motors, cars are able to be registered, plated, and insured in all of Canada without any problems. The frames are certified by our Department of Transportation. B.R.M. is still in business with 3 cars being currently built. These are two complete units and one Kit.
Mother,

I can assure you that you haven't caused me the least bit of concern. I was simply pointing out the absurdity of your concern. As RodKnock so eloquently highlighted, cars much, much older are being used in anger every weekend of the year at race tracks around the world. Indeed, ALL of the original Cobras are approaching 50 years old and I doubt anyone is suggesting they be consigned to the scrap heap.
It just comes down to careful and appropriate maintenance, which pretty much goes for any car, regardless of age.
