All replicas are copies so who cares as long as we enjoy them. All replica manufactures have used ideas or parts off others and copied them, a couple of examples are in the GT40's the RF looks a hell of a lot like a Tornado, the Classic Revival looks a hell of a lot like an ERA and even the CR literature in Ians brochure mirrors that of ERA.

If these replica guys didn’t copy from somewhere we wouldn’t have them to enjoy, or we would have to try and import them. I would like to say thank you to all the manufactures past and present for having the balls to take such a risk in an industry that doesn’t reward them sufficiently, but they continue to do what they do for the love and the passion they have towards these fine cars. To me it seems a thankless task to be a manufacturer, imagine all the phone calls you get from the tyre kickers (yes I am one LOL) and all the endless phone calls helping people with their builds.

Then you have the risk that you will not have a business the next day due to the RTA and Dotars always introducing changes without any consultation with the people it affects most, the manufactures. It's a big HIP, HIP, HOORAY from me to all past and present manufactures as I believe without any of you we would not have what we have today.
