Jaguar to Build More New Old Cars With the D-Type Continuation

[TexRex]

I don't get that. There are a whole heap of Ferrari’s racing in historics that aren’t what they started out as... rebodied, different chassis, different engines, combined to ‘create’ a replica of a different model. Then there are things like old 911’s, converted to ST spec, with FIA papers to allow them to compete in events they wouldn’t have been able to originally.

Don’t see how this is any different.

That's precisely my thinking.

Being able to go racing with the thing would completely justify the purchase for me (assuming it was reasonable where my finances are concerned), and at a tenth the cost, racing wouldn't cause as much unease (not that most damage couldn't be repaired in the case of the original or a re-issue).
