Wouldnt the world be a boring place if we all just went and bought a standard car from the manufacturers, I personally love stuff like that, 75 grand is a bit strong for a Supra but it looks like its been built from all new parts, I doubt it could be replicated for that kind of money, all high end race parts, even GTR,s and the like are built down to a price but that looks like money no object, cant really compare them.

I have to admit before I started reading the add (which I did before posting the link however), I thought it was some Nigerian scam. But fair play to the crazy Dane, it's one holl of a build. Whether someone will pay £75k is another thing, but as mentioned above god knows what it would cost to replicate.

End of the day it's what the buyer thinks its worth, and the guy thats built it obviously has a deep knowledge and deeper pockets

Two words: Money pit.

And thats after whats already been spent on it. Seriously,he claims it hasn't even been driven in anger properly yet.

Must be nuts to sell it without even knowing what BHP it does....unless he has a suspicion that it might go bang.

......Unless it comes with a warranty

doubt he'd get 7500, let alone 75,000.

sure its lovely with new bits, but come on?

you'd need a warrenty for anything like that. it'll be full of quirks and problems and probably terrible on the open road.

Hopefully he'll be spending the 4 days fitting a firewall and the door cards, lol

1500Hp and an 8 second quarter. no it isn't. it hasn't done anything yet. But buy me now!

If I had 75k to spend on a car right now I'd buy a Gallardo road car. Something you can enjoy every day! Providing I could run it on a daily basis of course!

You'd need to either be as into cars as the guy who built it, or be pretty well off to buy it for a hobby.
