							Fair comments above, but let's not get too tangled up in terminology as a means for either banning or accepting any car.  I fail to understand why the Morrari or Zephyr Corvette is lauded as a piece of NZ history; a single-seater built out of period bits last year is OK; but a saloon built out of period bits is not.  In other words, you couldn't put that Ferrari engine in the Zephyr as it wasn't done in period.
I really don't care what you call a Triumph Herald coupe with period Rover V8, as run in Targa for several years, but whether you call it a Hot Rod, a Retro Classic or an orphan, shouldn't bar the owner from driving it on a race track if he so wishes.  As long as he drives it to a standard acceptable to the classic fraternity, that is fine by me as it is a far more honest car than a F5000 with illegal heads, or a schedule K car driven like a fairground dodgem.
Therefore whether we use the word "classic" or not, is somewhat irrelevant.  What is important is that overall, we present decent sized grids of cars where there is a degree of mutual respect between drivers, regardless of the car.
