904 in Fran's Sig? - Page 5

Fran Hall RCR · 11-29-08, 07:45 AM

We had chassis #28 in the shop about 18 months ago...the owner was offered over 500k and it needs a restoration...

Good luck to Mr. Price....

Do you have the owners contact info? Thanks

Craig, you have a PM.

Ken Price's 904 is a replica - how do I know ? I built it !!!!!!!

That´s what I thought... When you ask him for a chassis number, no reply.
Plus is a RHD car, and I do not think Porsche ever built a RHD 904

Barrie, Thanks for clearing the Aussie replica dilemma up. It certainly explains the price issue that Fran brought up. I think it is interesting that nowhere in the results of the races or articles in the media, that I could find, does it mention that the Ken Price car is an M&W replica, although most of us knew you were out there building fine 904 cars.

Fran, As always, we bow to your insight and wisdom.

The Martin and Walker cars are great and very well done...

It would be quite easy for someone not conversant with 904's to mistake one for an original...

Pat Buckley · 12-14-08, 02:56 PM

I am thinking 904 for the next project....how much are the M&W cars?

Thanks.

Fran Hall RCR · 12-14-08, 03:08 PM

Currently they are somewhat inexpensive due to the exchange rates....41k pounds for TK minus... I think as stated on their website but that may be out of date...
...any bites on the sale of the CAV??

Pat Buckley · 12-14-08, 04:37 PM

A couple - one is visiting the car next week end.

Fran Hall RCR · 12-14-08, 04:49 PM

Good luck....!!

Fran,

You have a thread started on the Caymanclub.net forum with a couple of photos of the 904 in-progress. Great to see some collaborative efforts with Scott at Softronics!
