1st I don't build kits.
2nd by using modern technology in replicating 50's and 60's machinery the improvement in dynamics is almost guaranteed.
3rd why build replicas? I cant afford actual le-mans machinery.
4th I'm a pretty good engineer but do not profess to be in any way a stylist.
3rd having looked at some of the horrendous attempts at original design in the kit car field I conclude that I could not do any better.
Hence I build cars that I would own if I were a millionair, trust me if I won the lottery tomorrow my 1st call would be to Mclaren to source an F1 then maybe await the sale of a genuine D Type Jaguar.
Dont often get the chance to share my feelings on the pros and cons of replicas.
Last comment, I hate a badly built replica as much if not more than most probably because my job always demanded strict accuracy of any prototype, a vauge resemblence was just not good enough.
Cheers.
