The various organisers of race series seem to have little or no objection to many so called continuation 'replica' cars, many are outragously way beyound what can even very lightly be described as replicas. A recently viewed advert 'for sale' described the car as 'the nuts' little investigation soon produced some doubt as to the engine being in the 'spirit' of the regulations or originality, why should they object to your idea/and or plans, when a faithfull re-production of a previously raced car is the only desire and result, just because it was outside of the homologated version. But I bet 10 bob to a shilling they will, unless of course it is a Ferrari and your name is Ecclestone.
