Fortunately nobody builds a Healey kit car indistinguishable from the
original but C & D type Jag Kits are very close. In Australia we have a
magnificent" D" type Jag built from the original XXD548 block & little else.
Given the reputation of the owner / restorer this car would be 100% correct
& to concourse standard . Would you Judge it as a kit car OR As I
interpret your statement you would judge on it's merit & not its
provenience.
Very Very Interesting .
