No such luck there, they still adopt this type of pricing policy 
This is brilliant 
Indeed, it really is like that. You'd feel like a right dick paying 10k for a silencer. You could get a custom made, titanium, one off-production for less, gold leafed

If I said Guadalupe island in french west Indies......
Does that ring bells?

if its one thing Ive come to realise with old porsches, it is that perfect finish is something you can forget about 
watch the movies from the factory fitting the doors in the 80s, they are hanging and pulling them like crazy to make em fit!

This old myth about original cars being picture perfect must die , wasnt just the dagenham factory who left cheese sandwiches under the paint
