The Q plate never bothered me on the Prototype rep. It only had 2 digits, which somehow made it less obvious.
Q reg. gave it the least stringent emission test at MOT time. Visible smoke only, no gas test.

Excellent, thanks Guy. It all makes sense now.

Sat in a real one, may never wash again!
Hi all
New to this club. Question - why pay 47,500 when LB will build one for forty ?
Regards
I'm not sure the maths works out like thatOriginally Posted by Stratos-Si
LB will charge you £7500 + vat, so £9k, to build you a car.
Once you add that to the price of the spec of car you want to end up with then you'll be well over forty.
And, you'll be at least 2 years older than you were when you paid your deposit.
You can always make more money. You don't get that time back.
The £40k price tag was underquoted on the Autocar video and was then only relevant back in 2011/2012 when using a donor car engine, the figure would be much higher now and there would be also be considerable lead time.
A finished registered car whatever marque is ready to drive away almost instantly.

I think with any kit/replica the price is very much 'how long is a piece of string'. It varies wildly depending on how you approach the build. The cheapest option is the base kit and a secondhand engine / box that you don't do anything to other than service / belts. Once you are into rebuilding engines, adding custom bits and extra features then the price will spiral very quickly.
And I'm speaking from experience!
