THT - He knows his market (he appears at all the big motorshows including the 2 big Goodwood events) and his clientele are the really rich folk , petrol heads but not necessarily the dyed-in-the wool Stratos enthusiasts . I reckon - if he can sell at £60k - he will almost double his money.
Well, WE all know that buying a built kit is something that has to be approached with caution and much research. Every one is different - features, add-ons, build quality etc. But those who don't know, or don't consider, any of this only see "Lancia Stratos" or "AC Cobra" or whatever, see the shiny stuff, and buy based upon that and the fact that they're paying a fraction of the price of the genuine article. They'll probably be quite happy given they won't do many miles in it (they'll have a few other cars) and will make all sorts of allowances for awkward seating, various quirks and all that on the basis that it's a low-volume special.... so I guess if people are prepared to pay that, then fair enough. Far too salty for me though!
