What "this" is about is MARKETING, persuading some very wealthy men and women to part with ALOT of money for another "special edition" (Evan, I won't use that word in this response) with some OEM parts, some reproduction parts and a GREAT BUNCH of present-day parts. And they can't be driven, which to me, is a fatal flaw. The bottom line is that the marque continues to be watered down with anniversary models, special editions, etc.
Whack! Ouch!
Possibly correct though. If we're being honest it might be hard to argue against. No?

I'm just glad David gets to get his rocks off on all those NOS parts.
Again for similar money (I speculate) I'd rather Larry's car.
