Ian Polson has been building replica 105’s for past thirty years.
Gareth Burnett at Pace Historic’s even knocked out two or three as well as looking after six of the seven real Alpine works cars.
Probably twenty pretend cars in all.
Surprisingly the history of some of the reengineered,replica copy etc cars has grown like Pinocchios nose .
Same thing happens with Bentley with dozens of pretend Le Mans bodied cars and recreations
Bit I don’t understand is they get advertised as matching number cars with new bodies which has always baffled me.
Many of the four and half’s have five point three litre engines
Always an interesting subject.
