As far as I know, no, or at least if you do not use their badges and claim it is the real thing. Anyone can build what they want, as long as they don't market it as the real thing or try to sell it as one.

Now that is a labor of love! Incredible. I'd like to hear how the car sounds and drives.

Who cares really, it looks cool as hell!
