It does look nice. Nice phoney Gurney-Weslake valve covers, too.
So let me see if I have got this right- the car CAV/GTD build is not a kit car if they build it, but it is a kit car if YOU build it, but it's just as good either way, right, etc etc etc. Sounds to me like they want their cake and eat it too.
I agree with Ron; especially if the builder starts with a well-thought-out kit, the result of his considerable investment in time and committed effort is frequently much nicer than that done in the factory by 9-5ers. We all know the build quality of the original cars was frequently just OK, after all they were built to win races, sort of disposable items in a way.
Persuing Ronnie Spain's book, it is interesting how many GT40s left Slough without engines and were finished by racing teams, or owners, or other shops. Sure sound like kit cars to me...
Kit cars...this month's C/D has an article on, I think, the AutoRama hot rod show, if I've got it right, even in those tiny pictures the finish and build quality of those cars is astonishing. One-offs done by a small group of people, not in a factory, gee, they sound like kit cars, too.
It comes down to who does the building and what they begin with, far more and any label like "kit" car or "factory" car. My two cents.
