Quote "but in no way an "Ulster" (what an over-used word that is)"
I am inclined to agree with you Tony but we should also remember that the term "Ulster" was coined by us as enthusiasts rather than an official name for a particular model, I agree that today it is used/abused to cover anything which is of a similar design. This particular car has at least got a body on it which started as a replica "ulster" type but with a fair amount of personalisation, personally I feel that unless someone is claiming it to be an accurate recreation whats the harm in using the description.
I should add that even if we feel it is overpriced, try having a car built to the same specification for that money, only if you are capable of doing almost all the work yourself would you manage that.
