So far as we know---that was my point.
It may be a case of the chassis plate being lifted up and another car being slid underneath it ,or, it may be that the engine, then the body, then the gearbox, etc were replaced over time..only one person knows. According to the ruling above if even the ashtray from the original car was swapped over then there may be a case for "originality". If not one single part was swapped over there may still be a legal claim if "continuity" can be established. Whether we approve or not!
Or, it is just a case of fraud...
My point in posting the judicial ruling from England was that this resets the bar for proving/disproving "Originality" as we view it.
I very much doubt we have heard the end of either of these two cases.
