Many, if not all the build components are new and not even made by the original manufacturers for most of these "also continuation" cars.
Many of our recreations have a greater race history and for a lot longer !!!!!!!!! and do contain many original parts in looks or substance.
We all know that racing cars are a continual development process and wear and tear inevitably means replacing a lot of things, including chassis and bodyshells ..... and chassis plates !!

You now bring the subject full circle to a thread started ages ago.As I have already stated,I think that once a bodyshell has been replaced with a new version and just about everything else for that matter,then you can forget any of the previous "history",thats all been tipped into a skip and has gone forever.The car may carry the number plate,but it IS not "The "car it pretends to be.
When you say that "Many of our creations----------------------contain many original parts",does that mean that your 917 has an original engine/transmission etc?
