So do I, but I can't afford a real one, and neither would I waste £70k on one that is a counterfeit and worse than the two aforementioned alternatives that could be had cheaper 
Horses for courses, still makes them weird though

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

To be fair that doesn't look a terrible one but OMFG those proportions are so different.
The newer stuff is far, far better. Until you floor it.

Chesil Speedsters are an appreciating replica.

I think with replicas it proves who your trying to impress and reflects badly on your personality.
If the majority of people can't tell the difference, why would you be bothered trying to impress these people?
Can't imagine turning up to a car event in a replica, everyone would think your a dick, but drive around your local supermarket and you feel as if people are amazed by your lump of fibreglass.

The fella must be potty.
Who in their right mind would pour seventy grand on a terrible copy when they could have the real thing for about £55,000 and spend the balance on maintaining it/holidays/cocaine/beer/clothes?
