The original discussion was about the expenditure of _SIGNIFICANT_ sums
of money to get the right look.  The last thing anyone wants is to
expend major $$$$$ to, e.g., win some major historic event and then have
either scrutineering at the event or the manufacturer say: "Useless -
this or that is not right."

This is a potential commercial venture - the rules are different from
those that apply should you or I decide to add a new body stripe or
something.

Although a Dialynx 'Sport copy' would pass muster at a casual meeting or
at a 'cruise', it wouldn't get past scrutineering at a true historic
event - where you are in many cases required to show provenance and
justify an original factory chassis number.

Why would I downgrade?

P.S.   Seen the caution on hotmail.com in comp.risks Digest 21.22?
