Safir Mark Vs? They do when they sell, I suppose, Ian. They don't seem to sell very often, or if they do, I don't hear of it, despite keeping an eye out for them in SCM etc. The Hagerty Cars That Matter price guide lists them at $230K for the coupe in Condition 1, and $300K for the roadster. The build years are specified as 1981-2009, which is about right.
Interestingly, the Kar Kraft continuation Mark IVs, which are still trickling out, from what I can gather, are valued at $260K. I hardly think you could buy one for that, but perhaps I am wrong. It seems to me that the T44 transaxle alone cost $30K a few years back.
ERA has been at this longer than any of the other builders of replica GT40s,
I believe Tornado Sports Cars hold's that title Jim, since 1989, 2010 marks our 21st year of continual GT40 replica production.
Thanks,

It is splitting hairs but you are correct, ERA states on their webpage that they delivered their first GT in 1990
"In 1990 we delivered our first ERA GT"
The more I read of this thread (and YES I've read every written word) makes me even prouder to know I have a GT40 sitting in my garage just waiting to be driven and enjoyed. ERA, CAV, SPF and all the rest is all alphabet soup but the fact is they are all makers of one of the greatest cars ever regardless what one paid. And Yes some may be better than others but....KEVIN L as Ian previously said its about emotion and I bought mine after many sleepless nights thinking of how I could get one. After 6 months of no sleep and going through the agony of thinking my dream would never come true I finally got mine about a year ago. It's been an up and down experience since but when I'm out on a country road with that big FORD V8 thumping away and those 8 weber trumpets sitting in plain sight in my rear view mirror and when I get that rapid fire volley from the exhaust in a down shift over run I don't care how much it cost or who made it I'm in heaven and I bloody love it. KEVIN L kudos mate for getting many of us thinking but get out there and make a dream come true for yourself. You won't regret it.
Kevin I'll see your 80 with a 57

Buy it now at 80K
Indeed nice car with some extra's too.Wow - that is a good looking car!
Oh I wasn't trying to insinuate that Kevin was selling his just countering his proof of pricing...
Good point DM. Can I ask - what exactly constitues a 'Data Point?'
To me it sounds like a finite pont in an equation - but I've seen it here used in a somewhat, er, subjective sense.
Please, enlighten me...
