Read the CR site.. $127k on average to build the car.
that figure is for a turn-key car. Dump all the FF parts on someone's doorstep, and see how much labour they charge to assemble it. Sure it will probably be cheaper than 127K, but it will be ****eloads more than 40K

Most people are producing beautiful CR's/Harrisons/etc for around 60K by doing it themselves - and some for even less.

There's no arguing with the economies of scale which FF have been able to achieve. It doesn't mean they're better however.

them there's fightin' words! There's a couple of folks around here tootling around in a CR and a DRB I believe who might like to talk to you. I suppose we'll see you at Winton to hand out the trophies.
