I think it's absurd to call the two spare tubs that were built at the same time as the other tubs replicas. Many car makers made chassis' and had them bodied by some other company. They are not called Zagatos or Pininfarinas.If these are not original tubs, what are they? I believe Cunningham had a couple chassis' left that were not bodied and had no chassis number. Are those replicas? The people with the original cars are always the ones who protest the loudest and love to use the R word. Actually they are usually calling each other names when they find out they own one of 2 cars with the same chassis number.This is what happens when non racers get into buying race cars.It's all whose ox is being gored.
It would be interesting to ask the guys who built these tubs if they thought they built replicas.
