Chris, I am, for one, not gullible, yet I own a continuation P2120. Thanks. I know what it is.

I would also suggest that one point of the "continuation" thing is an effort to get paid back for investing the resources towards the produciton of as "close to original" replica as possible and avoiding lawsuits from the owners of the GT40 name (which weren't, apparently, going to invest the resources to make the near original replica available to anyone). If a companies like Superformance and Hi-Tech and Safir can reach an agreement that satiisfies all and bring a great car to market - who loses here? I for one am thankful for their efforts.

I really don't think the continuation devalues the orginals either. I own a continuation and I know what it is - a real nice replica. If I owned an original, I would know that I am in a whole different league.

Sure they can ask $124k for the Shelby stuff, but the market will decide what it is worth. I paid around $65k for my SPF and I think it was well worth it.

Regards,
Mike
