I've driven ERAs (thanks Turk!) and many SPFs. What tied the knot for me was how much work Turk put into the bodywork (200+ hours) on his stunningly beautiful ERA. In California (San Francisco Bay Area), the price of bodywork and paint to equal the finish of a standard SPF car would be easily be in the $10k to $12k range. This is nearly a third of the price of a new SPF.
Add in the fact that every component on the SPF is brand new and the waiting list for an ERA is anywhere from a year to a year and a half it made my desision to buy a SPF pretty easy. But if Turk's ERA would have been for sale 6 months earlier....
Enclosed is a photo of SPF 1249, the first SPF I finished.
Looks damn good in black!
