TheOtherStu Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 £15k for a non-turbo is taking the piss though. Problem is, people pay that kind of money for nostalgia. It's called "modern classics" 🤣 Crackers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackers Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Possibly one of the worst ads I've seen asking for £40,000: One portrait photo of a printed landscape photo of the outside of the car, which may have been taken 15 years ago. One photo of not the car - because it's under a cover. Three dark and blurry photos from the camera being arbitrarily thrown around random parts of the interior. The description is short but not sweet: Quote This car is like new Rubbish. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202010295560038 carburettor, Remspoor, adw1977 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice enough but overpriced by about £7k I reckon. not that I’m an expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpiusMaximus Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Somebody around these parts built a Ford GT40 out of what was essentially a complete knock-down kit. It was so good that Ford officially sanctioned it as a GT40 and verified it as a 'real' one. It shows up occasionally near the garage that I use. Must get a snap of it next time....

somewhatfoolish Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I think Henry Brubaker at the Institute of Studies is a more credible judge of greatest motors than whichever jobbing scribber at Auto Express drew the short straw on the day the Mk3 ez arrived for testing and he doesn't even exist. horriblemercedes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
