Max, be careful what you wish for! (BTW it's Marcos that employed a wooden chassis
) There are already new (Triumph chassis) SLRs under construction. 3, last time I heard, based on period TR4s and identities. The existing TR chassis car doesn't (or didn't) have an HTP, as it was modified over the years and recent owner(s) didn't want to take the car back to original- thus losing some history. If the new ones are the same as that car when originally built, they should be eligible for papers if the owners want to race.....
Meanwhile- A certain Morgan dealer has decided that if a body buck now exists, why not make some more Morgan chassis SLRs as well........? Not sure how far those plans have got, but expect it will happen.
What the above will never do is devalue the 4 original cars. They are too well known!
