I am used to the questions - no bodder me. "Is it real?" I usually just say
if it was it wouldn't be here - since the few real deals are about $1 mil each,
then you wouldn't drive it. Then I just say mine is a replica - the look of the
old but with modern technology a bit more reliable and a lot more fun
because the insurance is way cheaper than an original's would cost. That
they have no problem understanding. It is all about the fun of meeting people
with one of these cars. Amazing how many out there who had a uncle, friend,
whatever who owned a real one - if all were true there must have been a
million made.
