Given the various 'collectable' cars, things like 356s, VWs, ect that are rebuilt from a vin tag using near all aftermarket parts (cause whoever don't make them anymore) IMHO its about who did the original engineering.

A Xerox copy of a 356 is a Porsche. Doesn't matter if Porsche made it. Porsche did design it.

Take a 917 copy. Those Kraftwerks are supposed to be built from the original plans. If the builder goes out of his way to follow the Porsche engineering, its a Porsche. If they redesign anything, it isn't a Porsche anymore.
