Thanks guys for an entertaining discussion.
I guess at the end of the day a GT40 replica appears to have good resale value and the rarity of them will preserve that. BTW I am not personally in the market for a GT40 at the moment but my father is. He used to own a DRB GT40 that he sold to Steve Shedden a few years ago and would like to buy another.. However, as much as he loves the GT40, at nearly $150k even he questions his love!
