Given that there are probably in excess of 1000 C type replicas in existence already, it hasn't impacted on the value of the real thing so far.

Anyone prepared to fork out the best part of a million quid for a Jaguar built continuation C type (or E or D) is hardly likely to be tempted by a replica.

The irony in this, and other cases, is that JLR have previously actively supported some of the replica builders with technical advice and even drawings.

I find it strange that the court has ruled that Jaguar can copyright the design and shape of a car that has been out of production for almost seventy years, whereas JLR lost their case against Ineos when they tried to copyright the Land Rover Defender shape.

Whatever the reasoning, the general consensus is that they've shot themselves in the foot PR wise. Even the Jaguar Drivers Club has a dedicated section for Replicas, I'd be surprised if their response is positive.
