Only for those with deep pockets

[Ian Williams]

Duncan neither I, nor Joss, nor Simon Jansen nor, Atho, nor Richard McWhannell have fully equiped professional workshops, we all mainly make things using mainly hand tools and a bit of skill. Are you saying that none of us could built that car for15 thousand pounds sterling to the quality and standard you suggest?? If you are you are severely mistaken, any one of us could do it as well as a number of others out there. Of course I agree if you are only capable of bolting together things that other people have made for you then you have absolutely no hope of achieving anything remotely close. I also don't think that the "professional" build cost has anything what so ever to do with quality or value, I have seen far to many cars badly built by "professionals" , just because a person charges you money for their time does not make them a skilled craftsman.

And Mike it is all down to personal taste, if I could afford it I would not by either of the cars you illustrated, nor would I buy the polished bauble that is the subject of this thread. We all have different tastes, we all value things differently, I am sure someone will pay what others feel is silly money for this car and if they do I am sure it will make them very happy. I think it is perfectly acceptable to express opinions, as long as we accept that others will at times completely disagree with us.
