Manage tools, take measurements, place parts, polish bodies and test results. There are ten artisans around a BMW 507 Roadster , in the process of construction. None of them exceeds 25 years and work on the replica of a car whose original design dates back to 1956, even before their own parents were born.
It is a specialty with many names consecrated in Argentina, where Pur Sang stands out : the signature of Leonidas Anadón , who exports from Paraná (Entre Ríos) to the whole world various craft replicas of Bugatti and Alfa Romeo , with average values of 250 thousand dollars the unit.
Reklus was founded in 2005 with the same objective. Its creator, Gustavo "Pini" Mancardo , originally settled in a workshop in the Buenos Aires town of Malvinas Argentinas, but in 2015 he decided to move to Todd to expand. "And, by the way, get away from the madness of the city," Mancardo told Autoblog .

And the upsetting part is, that more and more countries release regulation, that you cannot homologate replicas anymore, unless they have passed the emission testing AND the crash and impact tests....very logical.
