The cars were designed (I think) and built by Chris Lawrence. Each one is slightly different and any new car inspired by the design would be as different as say the Triking is from the original Morgan 3 wheeler that inspired it. As such I doubt very much that anyone would be able to claim an infringement of design rights.

I wonder what it would cost to build a one-off hand beaten aluminium body these days. To shortcut a few things you would probably want to incorporate at least the glass, and perhaps window winders and other mechanisms, from something else. Perhaps an F-Type smile
