    Nothing wrong with a replica I really don’t understand the hate towards them - especially classics

      The hate on replicas comes from people who have never been in one. I've recently been in a Porsche 550 Spyder replica, there is no way anyone is buying the real car, and the replica was just incredible and totally delivered on the road: Looks and performance wise.

      @@williampowell9013 By my understanding it was built on a chassis with similar architecture to a D-Type.. so it's not nearly the same thing as a MR2 with a bodykit. Obviously there's not going to be an affordable D-Type chassis just floating around.

    That is a beautiful thing, when you build a replica of an iconic car simply because you love it that much then it should be admired. Jonny obviously did a great job with it and I for one think it’s amazing, anyone who wouldn’t feel special driving around in that is not a true petrol head!
