Not SURE Chris it's speculating!
I'm back from Paris and Artcurial Auction in Retromobile and I have seen many high bids for classics car and also replica!
Now a new kit or refurbishment are very pricey!
At the moment I spent for mine more 40 K (not €... but GBP!) only for engine LHD and group 4 conversion without paintjob etc...)

STOP Guys, my question was what is the reason about this high prices?
and not it is or isn't "WORTH"

is the reason that for some it's easy to buy and build an Kit,
but we all know make them street legal with registration is very difficult!
is also the registration the reason for the high prices?

Sure Enzo
there is many reasons of high prices and difficult registration is one of them
Other reasons are " the Stratos " is an amazing sportcar for ever ( genuine stradale sold recently approx 300 and group 4 more 400K€!) and collectors prefers to buy these cars than new Porsche or Ferrari which are not collectible and depreciated price few years after buying!

Enzo, the best answer I can give you for the high prices of those two particular cars are the owners hoping that somebody with more brass than sense will come along and see them, get all moist and make an impulse purchase. Spec list to me, doesnt warrant those figures.

So some of us agree that - in the case of these two examples - the asking prices are speculative.

Enzo,
By asking the question in the first place, you obviously think the asking prices of the two cars are a lot higher than you would expect. That is, if we can't establish that there is a particularly good reason for the asking prices. Other than the owners advertising on a 'take it or leave it' basis.
