Oh yeah, old news now :) I was interviewed for the Times over it, my friend Rich was on BBC world service etc...

Basically they've been doing ground-up restorations for a premium for years, and have been struggling to find donor cars. They've found a loophhole that allows them to build new cars under some kit car rule, I believe.

The news has certainly shifted prices of UK cars up a notch with several changing hands recently.
