Assuming the British Gov't destroyed the original dies used to 
stamp the body panels, why can't some enterprising person take an 
existing LF fender (for example), make a new die from that, and get a 
few hundred fenders produced? Are the starup costs just too great? 
Are there legal issues with copying the design? Obviously, there is 
enough demand. Has this been tried before?

One thing I was wondering. I thought the only items actually processed at 
the factory were the fiberglass underbodies and that items such as the 
stainless steel panels were made elsewhere. If this is the case how did the 
British Government get the dies for the body panels?
