Cost driven mate - as per most things in life
Too much time making a quality product that the general public could not afford or simply thought too dear.
As per a saying from Yorkshire - You don't get owt for nowt
After watching Top Gear last night (another quality GB Program), which has me rolling in laughter (A Renault Espace home made soft top going through a baboon enclosure) i again fell in love with the Koenigsegg (how is that for spelling!), but with a price tag of $750,000 Aus it is simply out of most men's league.
An Aston is another love of mine (once British), but again simply priced too high.
The Cobra (Replica) is the closest you get to fun for a reasonable price (again to many it is out of their reach).
I've thought about trading the Cobra in and buying an MG or Healy, but they simply do not have the squirt of a Cobra.
What do you buy for your money - If I knew I'd be out there buying one.
For now, the Cobra is good and you feel more connected when knowing it is individually made and quality time is spent tinkering
