I was fortunate enought to have a good chat with Dave from DB Replicas at the Oulton Park Gold cup. Dave has been very helpful to me in the past providing me with technical info for the build of my own car. He'd brought the first of his aluminium bodied 427 replicas along and to be honest they really do look very well put together. The retails is £65K and to me that seems like a whole load of bespoke car for the money.
Here's a link to his web site

Here's a link to his build time line for the aluminium cars. Even if you don't like the 427 as opposed to the 289, the build sequences are very similar and the work shown here is very good

Dave has done a terrific job and he's a really decent guy as well.
There's an imposter in your group of pictures though Nige. The engine bay shot is a Kirkham, not a DB427.
