I wonder why all the replicas coming up for sale are LB's. Isn't anybody selling a Hawk these days.

I've seen v few LB's up for sale that have actually been made by LB themselves, is that right? I'm still a relative newbie so excuse me if I'm talking poop.
Cheers,

Not sure on the whole history. One customer car (alitalia) sold then he's ordered a new Toyota version. Micks car recently, think Mick is aiming for guiness world record of number of classics owned and restored. Green car I believe was a customer car but don't know more about it.
There are still Hawk owners beavering away but not many, probably all fed up.
John I think you are exaggerating. Since I had the Corse in 2005, I've only had / restored 14 others. I don't know what all the fuss is about.:rolleyes:Quote:

Clearly a healthy market for customer built ListerBells, speaks volumes really, and at last people are paying a more representative price for a LB stratos. Hopefully this will also help the Hawk prices should one come up for sale.
Win win for all really.
Good to hear that you will be doing another one :-). Guessing you will do another works car ?Quote:

I don't think anyone would quite claim that, but I think it's closer to that than has been on offer from any other option available until the LB came along.Quote:

As Ian says continuous development is the key to any successful product (mirroring the main stream auto industry) and is no mean feat for a small outfit to maintain.
It does indeed speak volumes for the product that finished examples are snapped up at good prices by buyers who recognise a well engineered car.
Dave, I logged 270 hours on mine if that's any guide.Quote:
