eclectic should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Aha at last we get to Jenks!.

DSJ in his book, 'Directory of historic Racing Cars', 1987 Denis Jenkinson, was written precisely to address this question, his definitions of cars as either "Original, Genuine, Authentic, Ressurection, Re-construction, Facsimile, Special, Duplication, Destroyed, Scrapped, or Broken Up" has tood the test of time, I thoroughly reccommend the book which defines these terms extremely clearly as it covers the topic with good examples of each category. Sadly my scanner is on the blink or I would post his full definitions here. Perhaps someone has a copy and can do it for me?

Anyway this paperback together with its companions, 'Directory of Classic Sports-Racing Cars' 1987 by mike Lawrence, and 'Directory of Formula One Cars 1966-1986' 1986 by Anthony Prichard all published by Aston Publications are a must for serious students of our addiction.
