Hi Scott
The operative wording is "to model" which appears in at least two places,
thus truly a knock off: the quote reads:
"An extensive body-off restoration was completed on this car to model
the 1960
works car #20 UJB-142"
It is just another way of jacking up the price to the unsuspecting
bidder of which
there are lots. It is a shame to use such subterfuge BUT as a friend
here trained
by Jaguar states " there are many more questionable people in the
British car
scene than in the rest of the car scene".
Kind regards
Ed
