None are original, but I think authentic is a reasonable word to describe an accurate copy. Why not one with bling? If our intrepid builder (I had you in mind as one of my culprits, Ian!) has the skills to build the car, why not the patience to add the bling?

Incidentally, how does the seller come up with the figure of £505 for a complete car in 1925? The basic car was £285, wings ten guineas, windscreen five guineas and hood seven guineas; I make that nearer £305 ...
