The name replica or restored really have no hard meaning. l The question only comes up when there are two with the same number. The true value of it is finally settled upon sale. For Ferrari GTOs 36 survive out of 36 (or so). D type Jags have 19 survivors (or so) out of 7 built. That one always makes me smile.

Of course the grand daddy of all cars of this ort is the AC Cobra of which 7,330 survive out of 400 built.
