There's no problem making them if the demand is there.
It could be possible to make 40mm versions using the patterns for the 45s, which would save a lot even if they aren't 100% accurate.
Given what Jaguar are charging for their cars they have included the 15 grand or so for 3 new carbs, which is apparently less than they "spend" on the paintwork.
The problem is people who's cars are worth less than a tenth of the price of the new Jaguars where 10 grand (only 2 carbs) is a large proportion of the cars value.
Another issue is why fitting brand new carbs to a 60 year old car makes it more original than using what could be 50 year old carbs.
