Reply With QuoteI'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.

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

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.Originally Posted by strat24v

I think cars have become a little too easy for you, time to test your skills and grey matter a little more and build yourself a small aircraft.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.

Well from my point of view I have sold what was a great kit and will be ordering the new kit which has been developed further and is even better in key areas whilst keeping the best bits.
It's called development and improvement of your product.
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 ?
How long does it take to complete a LB ? I heard it all just bolts together from the factory.
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.
Hats off to Craig for continuing to work towards that goal, and further, since the projects inception.
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.

Shave off Mick that's 270/40 = 6.75 weeks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ................................... I dare not say how many hours have been spent on Eric.................... Mind you that's less than my son's efforts !.. LOL
