Stratos Replica prices!

[ProtoTipo]

Totally agree John, and as long as people keep saying things are too high a price so folk will think it (No not having a dig at you Chris).
When you thing 20 years ago what you could buy these cars for and what it costs now to build one.

You can talk them up all you like, but the acid test is what they actually sell for. I do know what those figures are.

Whilst I'm not knocking Talon or any other build agent, would you say that one of their built cars is worth more or less than Vince's car, or Guy's as an example?
(Sorry I don't know the other cars mentioned)

In the case of Vince's car, it's a collection of collector's pieces, as well as the bare bones of a good Stratos kit replica. To me, a car like that is far more desirable than a new (Talon like, for the sake of argument, and because it's a Hawk compared to another Hawk) build.

A few years ago I saw a Talon car just before being shipped to its new customer and that was in the region of £55K and of the 3 cars mentioned if that was worth £55k then I have no idea what the other two should be worth but its way more than punter keep hearing they are worth.

Regarding a new build that has cost £55k to put together. That doesn't mean that the finished car is worth that amount. Immediately cashing in a car like that, would likely see you making a loss, not a profit.

Its all well and good saying that's as much as people will pay, if that was true then why are people spending so much more for turn key cars, after all these are turn key as well.

You would only spend a lot on a turn key if you were going to keep it. Otherwise you've got more money than sense.
