I believe this is the car that visited the club stand at Stoneleigh and is featured on the Enthusiasts Club's site. www.gt40enthusiastsclub.com . It was also on display at the Historic Motorsports Show earlier in the year.
It may COST that much to duplicate...but WORTH is a subjective term. It is only worth what the NEXT owner
is willing to pay for it, regardless of replacement cost.
A classic example is watching an auction where
seemingly high quality/cost cars don't receive
bids commensurate with what the appraisal "says"
the car is worth.
Mike, it is 'worth' what the buyer and seller agree on at that instant, the next day either may think the worthiness was/is different /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
I know someone who was very interested in buying the car. The only thing that put him off was not the price, but that it has a Renault transmission, not a ZF. OK you could change it but then it does get a bit expensive.
If someone with 52k available wants to own this MK III replica, I assume they will buy it. Again....all it takes is ONE person who is willing to pay what the seller asks.
The problem with this logic is if NOBODY ELSE will pay 52k...was the car worth 52k? I guess it's a point of view
issue...just make sure you have a stated value insurance
policy. Otherwise your insurance carrier may not have the
same point of view !
...more i stay in this forum(becamed now my opening page /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif) more i think it is too important to look everyday this and join the 2 Uk gt40 clubs...even more for people as me living outside Gt40 land.
52000£, it is 1/4 off a real Gt40, or a safir, when your search a little.... (i haven't says that all the gt40 were at this price... but if you search, you find..)
i love the replica, but here, it's a little more money.. no?
