Ah........ it all reminds me of the MGB GT V8 saga. The MG Works made 2591 of the 131mph Q car monsters and suddenly stopped production. After which EVERYONE seemed to want one. So the various specialist MG companies started to make repros. But as good as they were, that's all they ever were. Unless yours starts with the chassis number GD2D1 0xxx G, then it's a repop
