All scratch built.
We know Stuart well. He's an incredibly talented engineer and his cars are fantastic. We would love to have him involved.

My suggestion would be do more for those those who won't be buying one.

At £27k+vat starting price, many people who like them won't buy one, so perhaps do some 'dads and kids' type exerience days or other ways for people to experience the cars short term.
Great idea - we're hoping to run something at our base at Bicester Heritage soon. We can hire the whole track there, and give people the chance to have a run about for as long as they like. The DB5 might be better suited as it means a parent can share the car with a kid at the same time. We're hoping to do something in Q1/Q2 next year.

It's your business, but I would try to find a market based on a mainstream marque. The Bugatti is fantastic but how many customers feel an affinity towards it? I think Porsche 911s would be a good seller. They would also give you some latitude across generations because they basically look the same 60-90s. You have targas and convertibles, RUFs, RWBs, 934s, 935s, outlaws, and many parts can be carried over to make a 356 and 550 or even a VW Beetle. You could also apply some "Singer"customisation. I bet there are plenty of collectors who would order replicas of cars they own, or would want to own.

Best of luck.
