Autoweek snobs
From the August 18, 2003 issue of Autoweek, page 35, regarding sale of a nice looking BRG Austin-Healey 3000 replica-
"I'm no big fan of replicas, especially ones like this that aren't even close to the car they are copying. It's one thing to put together a Jaguar XK-SS using parts from a donor Jag, modifying them where necessary and draping a hand built body on the finished product. It's a fake, but at least you have a slight claim to heritage. And driving a well-done one can provide a sensation similar to the real thing at a fraction of the cost. But a Tupperware Healey with a V8 and power windows? At Healey meets they'll have you put your car by the Porta-Johns. You'll be welcomed at kit-car conventions, parked next to the Laser 917 replicas and HMS Countach fakes. But really, are those the car guys you want to spend your weekends with?"
