The folks that own those cars are more than generous repeating their story at the Nationals! The EsCos was purchased whole and converted to ever-changing specs (they had a few rounds of do overs before it "passed" over here).
*For instance: the blink-before-brake-signal feature had to be disabled **that feature only began surfacing as a safety enhancement here on motorcycles and large emergency vehicles a few years after 2000*

I've seen newer Jags there recently. At the first three years' events there were some very impressive cars out there autocrossing with us! Those are most definitely replicas; Factory Five to be exact. That is also who makes the GTM Kit Car (that red windowless MR racecar looking thing) for the Chevy guys.
This guy was at a gas station near the auto mall of dealerships I work at. This car is gorgeous; he was at the Jaguar/Range Rover dealer. This car only has 35,000mi on it!!

The #22 Cobra (Wade Chamberlain)... that guy can effn drive, man! We keep commenting that it'd be sweet to just watch him race all day as aggressively precise as he is! I'll have some video up once I get through editing.
