I dont see why not, people have been copying and replicating for far longer than most 'classics' have been around
just take Morgan, isnt there car a rip off of an old MG anyway . . . .and theyve been making them for longer than the queens been pardoning ![]() |

Is a Cortina a classic? Absolutely.
Is a Sierra a classic? Not yet, but wait for it? You know what comes next? It isn't pretty. |
