There are no 411 bodies to make 8 cars, the bucks for them are not available for use as they now reside in a museum.

That isn't necessarily a huge impediment nowadays. I believe the latest 3D scanning and CAD technology can be used to make a new body buck quite quickly (in a few weeks).

There are however challenges sourcing many other parts. For example, last time I spoke to BCL about bumpers they could only offer secondhand ones. Similarly there will be many other parts which are not available new in any quantity and it wouldn't be economically viable to have them all manufactured from scratch. Which suggests they may be planning to purchase donor vehicles.

I note that 'new' Jensen Interceptors are being produced using a similar approach.

These ads for continuation and "new" 411s and Fighters are still running.
Here is a record of the court case involving this individual when he tried to secure the Allard name: www.ipo.gov.uk/t-challenge-decision-results/o21414.pdf
Judge for yourselves how serious this is.
