as it says ,a reproduction.not that hard to understand really.
My 2 cents....
Re-production implies that this same company has gone back and produced another run of the original production, thus implying that this is the original manufacturer. Only Safir, Alan Mann or Holman Moody can claim that honour.
A more fitting term would perhaps be replica, as this suggests a very close copy without referring to any relationship with the originator.

it does come down to semantics some times,however a kit definitly means the car was delivered in pieces and some individual put them together. My CAV was not delivered as a kit,however, apparently you can request it in kit form and thus it would described as such. Kit is not a derogatory term,it simply defines the product.
How specific do you nit pickers want to get. The man clearly states what it is. A factory built REPLICA- and reproductions of lots of items are made by someone other than the original maker. I don't see any problem with the statements in this add, for what looks to be a very nice unit. I don't the car or the individual.

The only problem I have with the description is " Year 1966 " since he's describing the replica and that's what he's selling why not list the real build date? Not nitpicking in my opinion just misrepresentation. Nice looking car though.

in the states it is customary to use the date it is registered as or the date it replicates. My Kirkham is registered as a 1966 cobra 427 and that is the year cobra it replicates. No intentional misrepresentation intended as anyone buying my car would know it was built later than that. (much later)

That seems strange to me Chuck but if it is normal practice in America then I agree with you.It's possible differences like this around the world, are the cause of a lot of confusion in this Global market we now have.

If this car stays in California it damn well better show up at next years party!!!
Based on the listed VIN, this is not a mono but a space frame chassis.

Most states have the "right attitude" towards registration in that the description on paper and in the computers database should make the car more identifiable for policing purposes like theft recovery and such. However, DMVs in some states like California, New York, Connecticut, have required that a "homebuilt" car be registered as a special construction vehicle and registration description would state the year of assembly and the designation "custom". Extra revenue or more work, whatever the reasoning, makes it tedious for enthusiasts lucky enough to reside in those states. I for one, had to go through a tedious inspection, certification, examination, and re-regisration/titling process for my Cobra that has now changed my previous '66 Ford Convertible registration to '99 Custom, although the car was built in 2001. No explanantion other than at my next safety inspection, the computers will revert to '81 emission standards. So now, I have a '99 Custom that was built in '01, looks like a '66 Ford Convertible, and must pass a '81 emission standards sniff test to get my '07 stickers. Maybe the Democrats can straighten this out...:lol:
