Our replicas are built out of the highest respect to the originals. I think we just all find it amusing when people mistake a replica, no matter how nice it is, for the real thing. For me, the first replica I saw made my blood rush through my body like never before. It's great that we can keep the heritage alive even if some people don't think we should be, in their opinion, defaming & devaluing, the originals. I don't see it that way at all. I don't think that we add to or lessen the value of the original cars, rather we get to feel what it is like to have owned one of these great pieces of history & share with others that feeling when we first saw & heard one of these little beast rumble.
