I consider my knowledge of GT40s to be average - I rely on reference material a lot due to decreased brain cell activity. My finances are sufficient to support my current lifestyle until my passing (could always use more though). I am not sure what this has to do with being practical in the purchase of a replica (continuation or not).

I still don't understand how you think this devalues an original?

Would it make people feel better is the word "continuation" were stricken from the marketing material? I just don't get the sensitivity to the concept.

Kind regards,
