Relating to Max's post above, but that is so stupid - not Max's comments but the missive from the MSA.
What difference does it make whether it is the original, or a replica or a continuation car. Of course, that doesn't mean that Lotus can wheel out a fleet of replicas, but if one of the original chassis needs to be replaced, what possible harm is there in creating a replacement?
At the end of the day, Joe Public wouldn't know or even care that the car roaring about on display was chassis number X or Y, and they are certainly not going to immediately start smoking because it's a replica car.
The MSA have far more important things that they could be doing, like investing in grass root racing and promoting more "clubbie" events.
