As replicas go this one at least looks pretty good on the outside, but £38k buys a serisuly nice car where you don't have to either lie to everyone or tell them you spent almost 40k on an old MR2 wearing a whole lot of fibreglass.
The interior looks a mess.

The time, effort and money that's been expended on that..The interior looks a mess.

It may just be me, but I'm not sure I like the way the driver's seat is almost on top of the front axle. There seems to be far too much car in front of the front wheels. The interior looks a mess.

Am I missing something here?
Bloody expensive for what is the least wanted engine and poverty spec car
I thought that was the 728i (least wanted).https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1327432

As an aside, a friend of mine is only ever
interested in base spec cars..... particularly saloons and execs.
A fully loaded phase 1 E34 535i SE doesn’t float his boat at all..... but show him a 518i in doom blue and clad in cloth and he’s anybody’s

I suppose, to be as positive as possible, someone has taken on a project, displayed a good amount of technical ability and completed it.

Jimmy No Hands - I find myself doing this a lot...judging cars by what I used to see similar for sale at. I hate to say it, but things are not priced like they used to be anymore. £1900 is probably what £900 used to be... :weeps gently:
Only a couple of weeks ago I posted a Subaru in here that I was sure was 2x the price it should be. That car sold in 3 days and the prices all seem to have doubled pretty much in 6 months. Same with E46's My E30 325i Touring was £500 in around 2011.
Rover Mini Cooper SPI was £1300 in 2004.
Things are definitely not what they used to be

That exterior would probably fool me from a distance or until it was started. The interior looks a mess.

Once the waves begin to hit the shore in terms of the financial decisions made by successive governments I really can't see it being an enjoyable time for a lot of folk.
There's an impreza currently on BAT that is being subject to some serious bidding
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1998-subaru-22b/
Yes its a 22b and yes it has only 40'000km on the clock (which is not ridiculously low either), but still.

Wow, I clicked on that and thought there was 7 minutes left so I'd just hang on and see. Half an hour later it finally ended at $312,555. That's a lot of money. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1998-subaru-22b/

It’s a nice spec, seems to have a lot of extras but £8k for a 14 year old 1 Series with every so slightly below average miles? Crazy I think. I think to justify the price it needs to be a 130i, definitely not a 120d.
Terribly barried Merc with an awful pretend 2.5-16v body kit, 172k miles, no MOT, covered plates, mould on the dash, faulty breaks (sic), rusty wings and a cracked screen - 2 bags...where do I sign?

Okay, you won't find many in this condition but £70k - really? Is this 'one-off' worth this money?
