you must not be here for a decade or neither have a harvard degree to talk about that question and understand that problem

if rolex makes a new series of a 60th model it is an original rolex
if any other manufacturer makes a new series of that watch it is a replica

if shelby makes a new series of a 289 it is an original (for sure not a historic one)

i think its that simple

maybe we can philosophize about the authenticity level of the manufacturing way:

if ac heritage is hammering a new alubody on original tools at brooklands, ships that to las vegas where it is completetd by shelby with original drivetrain, that might be the most authentic way in manufacturing a continuation car
