Yellow peril for sale.

[Simon]

Just came across an ad for Robin Batt's "yellow peril" GTD in Octane magazine.
HIGHLY developed car with ALL the goodies. Not cheap, but must be one of the very best out there.

Sorry Paul,
For a second there I thought you wrote "Insane magazine"

- a personal opinion of course

I was discussing the prices of kit cars in these times.

Too much for me I'm afraid.

In the Octane magazine article the Wealdon GTD 40 was put a value of £110,000. A standard GTD in good order should be around £30,000 give or take. So that leaves you to spend between £50,000 to £80,000 to turn it into a Wealdon badged car.
