"If I'm not mistaken, Jaguar built some replicas of the
pre-war (and still stunningly beautiful) SS-100 in the 1960s too. These
used the then current XK DOHC straight six but looked a lot more like
the original car than the 4R Zagato looked like a 6C1750."

And so did Ford in 2002 - The T-bird!

To my taste, replicas always lose the character that made the original
original.
