Around the Market - D Type Replica’s For Sale Editor- I have no idea how many Replica D-Type’s there are, but I recently read an article stating that Worldwide, there have been more than 1,500 “Replica C-Type’s” built! Goodness knows then, how many Replica SS-100’s and D-Type’s have been fabricated? One would deduce - lots more. Many commentators believe it has got out of hand and understand why Jaguar, Ferrari, Mercedes and the like are clamping down on what they consider to be a breach of copyright. It is probably about 30 years too late. Anyway, if you are looking for a Replica D-Type, there are currently two for sale in Australia via Carsales
