As an ex kit cat owner (Westfield, basically a plastic Caterham, only better ) for a number of years I went along to the annual kit car show just down the road at Stoneleigh. Along with the many bespoke kits, there were loads of brand copies. Some shockingly bad, and a good many beautifully put together. AC Cobra copies and some early Porsches such as Speedsters were in the main, lovely looking cars and you'd be hard pressed to tell them apart from an original.
Many question why you would want to do this but for the builder/owners, they get a lot of satisfaction from what they do. Each to their own I guess.
I didn't build my car, but used to love caring for it, making it better and most of all driving it. A seriously quick car that was a blast to drive on track days. You can beat 250 bhp in a 600kg car for the buzz it gives, a proper driving experience that for anyone who enjoys driving, should indulge in
