Doyle/Dickie Fastback Anglia Corvette

[Jac Mac]

Im with Gerald on this one, Take for example the ex Fahey Capri.. it is now restored back to its original V6 Cologne Capri configuration & quite rightly so, but why couldnt Inky Tulloch build a copy of his V8- Muncie & 9" as per the OSCA car...two totally different animals I know... BTW I have already tried to convince Inky..no luck.. Like in my own case I could if I wanted build a Ford powered IMP like the one I used to race, but not either of the Cortinas because they still exist.... apparently because 'I' built it ' I' can build a copy if the original is dead and gone... anyone else who tried would have to be classed as a replica. There must be many cars that evolved & transfered from class to class over the years, some of which have been converted back to the 'most valuable' configuration, perhaps more in the pursuit of $$$ than any particular class for racing purposes.

Before we get all wound up with this perhaps we should really have started a new thread on the Topic rather than drift away from the Doyle/Dickie car , Steve if you wish to shift it & title it as something like 'Replicas & Copies 'its fine by me.
