Not necessarily. There are some very good alloy bodied replicas, particularly C-types and Cobras, and some genuine exotica had GRP bodies such as the early 308GTBs, the GRP bodied ones being more sought-after than the later steel ones due to being lighter and rarer.
Brommers-
I did an internship at a kit car company many years ago, we took the car we built to a show and they had live demos of them forming panels for a aluminium cobra, i think it was Kirkham (which i think is part of Hawk who do the Stratos kits)
they were unbelievably well made full ally bodies, super nice.

Being completely stupid on these things, isn't a real one metal and the fake one plastic?
