Only 7 gajillion pounds too! 
Massive amounts of want... just about as desirable as a car can be for me. ST is the prettiest 911 shape of all time, built by Tuthill, it will be seriously fast with 340bhp and I’d guess c.1000-1100kg... oh, and the colour is just fabulous.
Yes, it’s expensive in absolute terms, but it’s a Tuthill car, so it will have been done properly... its relatively cheap compared to a 2.7rs, or a Singer.... or any number of reps put together by lesser builders.

Agree with this entirely - has to be more fun than a 7.2 RS for similar money.Yes, it’s expensive in absolute terms, but it’s a Tuthill car, so it will have been done properly... its relatively cheap compared to a 2.7rs, or a Singer.... or any number of reps put together by lesser builders.
So this or an Alfaholics GTA-R? What a choice...

Indeed! I had a good look around an Alfaholics GTA-R at the London Classic Car show a few years back... looked bloody fabulous, but they seem a bit overpriced at £250k for the full fat version
However, I'd expect the Tuthill car above cost a bit more to build than the current asking price.

My dream car Is it purely down to regulations like pedestrian crash protection etc or manufacturers thinking the future looks angular and jagged?
Surely someone like Konigsegg could build something that stunning?

As does aerodynamics. Once we learned what works and what doesn’t a lot of interesting styling was not going to be permitted if it didn’t work in the wind tunnel.

Pedestrian crash protection, well I’ve never actually hit a person....
