Exact replica
Have you heard the term "Exact replica":
BRASS PLAQUE ON XK120 DASH:
CERTIFIED THIS CAR AN EXACT REPLICA OF THE RECORD BREAKING CAR WHICH ACHIEVED THE SPEED OF 132.6 MPH AT JABBEKE, BELGIUM MAY 30, 1949
I adapted that phrase modified it a bit and riveted it on my Fibreglass/lookalike/wannab Cobra dash. That caused a lot of stir in the 90s :-)
What I mean is, the term Replica was used differently back then.
We used "3D-printers" in the late 90s for once off airbag housings for R&D.
