You are wrong about the association to B&B. I have had both and there is nothing similar except that they are both replicas but that is were it stops. Brian Anderson of B&B (previously LA Exotics) has never been part of Hurricanes past. This car does have a past and was sold under a different name years ago but it wasn't Legendary. The car has undergone significant changes and no longer can be called anything but a Hurricane. There is nothing left from the original company. The frame jigs are new and the glass molds have never been anything but Hurricane. The car that Hurricane bought to start their company was really unsafe to drive. I was there and saw the original frame that came with the purchase and it was junk. Hurricane started from basically scratch on the frame. They looked at ERA as the standard and you will notice quite a few similarities. The body is pretty close too. I think on the new cars the roll bar support is more correct than the older Hurricanes but other than that, I will stack it up against any other glass car's profile for correctness.
