I have a car which looks old but was built by myself not long back, on a brand new chassis and using relatively modern parts, some new. It's not a replica but a car designed on a theme. At various times I've had people spouting all sorts of rubbish, such as "having one of those in the 1950s" to telling me it's built on the chassis of a totally different type of car, telling me it's front wheel drive when it's not, that it's foreign, etc etc. One particular old chap at a car show told me I didn't know what I was talking about when I pointed out he was mistaken.
