So considering your own assessments, taken in aggregate:
1: Agreeing that your continuation car is a replica, and now
2: Assessing your continuation car to be authentic
By collaboration of your own arguments, you thereby own an "authentic replica"...
Exactly like every Factory Five owner on this forum....

Easy to understand (or so I thought).  |
Yes.... Probably easy for a Lawyer to understand; but I'm an Engineer, and a car-guy.
By the application of your same logic (That legal branding and trademarking is what defines the authenticity, or the "essence" of the automobile in question), you would imply that the Holden Commodore, which Bob Lutz brought over to the US and started selling in 2004, was in fact, an
authentic Pontiac GTO...
Which it was NOT.... Not then. Not now. Not EVER.
Every "Authentic and genuine" Shelby Cobra was built and sold in the 1960's. You can debate that point all you like... but you can not replace canonical history, with legal interpretation.
All the legal posturing, all the condescending rolleyes
smileys, and all the New Jersey dick-swinging, does not re-define basic realities.
and Reality Number One, is that your car is much a "Real 1" as every Factory Five car is...
Oh, and Here- Right back atcha....
