Building a 'new' mk1

Just out of interest, how close could you get to doing with with new genuine parts and how much would it cost?

It's more a theoretical question rather than something I would want to attempt. Bit like an MGB build on a heritage shell, how far could you go with a new mk1 build and which parts would have to be second hand.
