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.
I disagree, because of the simple fact it uses all ORIGINAL parts, Kirkhams, New Shelbys and old, like David said, are not as original as these, David I'm surprised you don't get one, they are very cool...
