The dispute between Jaguar Land Rover and Kungälvsparet Magnusson, and their company Creare Form AB, where Jaguar won in the first instance, may in its extension mean that in the future it will be forbidden to drive replica cars on the roads.

By suing, Jaguar wants to confirm its copyright on a historic car shape, and fully decide who can use them.

Can be practice

The ruling in the Patent and Market Court may become practice if the outcome is the same in a higher instance.

The effects for all the hobby builders who have finished or semi-finished replica projects in the garage are highly unclear.

Something that worries Bosse "Bildoktorn".

- I'm building an Austin-Healy 3000 replica in my garage, my building will also end up in such a discussion now, he wonders.

"Where do you set the limit?"

He believes that Jaguar's atmosphere risks an entire hobby and an entire industry with replica companies that sell copies of classics from AC Cobra to Lotus Super Seven.

- Where do you set the limit for what is a copy and what is not?

Individuals and companies around the world have been building replicas of classic car models since the 1970s.

Jaguar has also sold drawings of its models.
