I think the CMC car is in itself a fantastic piece of workmanship and probably the exception to the rule whereby a usual re-build using a filler cap from the original car gains the car original status.
Its fantastic to see all of the pieces that are being re-fettled re-fettled in such a way. Common sense however would just see a car re-built with some new bits. again this is down to someone being able to sell it for more.
Its funny how history changes perceptions. if that car had been crashed and re-built via a re-shell in its day when a new car no one would bat an eyelid at its status if then unaltered today. re-shell it today however and the purist will say it isn't original, again always down to money.
Real racers just enjoy the cars for what they are. old cars!
I know of very very few original racing cars.
I know lots of re-built and restored ones puporting to be original and worth thounsands more than they actually are?
You certainly cannot fault the workmanship.
