Correct in saying that proximity of the builder is a big plus. However if they are in the same country and 4 hrs away it makes little difference. Me I assembled the majority of the CAV systems on the Chassis out of boxes within approximately 2 weeks. I mean brakes, cooling system, harnesses, fuel, throttle and pedal box clutch, suspension etc.
Well spread out build manual and a phone if you have difficulty.
I sourced the gauges, engine and transaxle myself.........things that take some time, body prep for painting, perspex work and leather detail (if you decide to go outside the factory!)
I am sure that this is the same as you would expect from the others FRAN et al on their home build kits. ....and a lot less than 150k euros try less than 50k US. Then again depends how authentic you want it. For me its about the drive..........if you walk down the road with your model wife, who knows if it cost 100k in the surgery or if its the genuine parts...As long as it goes like a race horse on the course.....
