It's a difficult choice! I've had a Hawk for 25 years now and wouldn't be without it. If Gerry says a lead time is 12 weeks I;d believe him, he usually quotes around 6 - 8 weeks but I guess shipping that distance he'd want to be sure it all went in one go.
Before you make up your mind which route you're going to go try to decide what you want to do with the completed car. Both the LB and Hawk are surprisingly practical with a cavernous boot that allows enough luggage for two people for two weeks touring plus there's usable space up front too. That's probably not going to be the case the 037 Replica but don't let that put you off, just take into account the fact that you're likely to be limited to what you can stuff behind the seats, in the doors and under the passengers legs!
Anyway, glad to hear you're sitting in the pub debating it! Just hope you're not spending too much of the build budgets on beer!
Keep us in the loop as you make your decision and if it's the 037 let's have a build thread so we can follow your progress!
