I think they've missed the boat a bit on this one, as prices already seem to be heading back down and there are some that have been on the market for quite a while.

That said I'm sure 10 is achievable. If I had the money I'd take a 1978 in Tuscan Blue thanks! cloud9

Like the Series 1 rebuilds, they make the parts from the original drawings.

They have made 50 of the series 1s so far. They were only going to make 25, but the demand is there.
It's £60k for a 86", £70k for a 80" and £80k for a LBG 80".

So they will make more than 10 of these.

I can assure you they don't make the body panels. Also nearly all the cars they rebuilt were form Australia 🙂

the series ones, came from all over the place, in rhd and lhd form. They may not make them, yet. But the demand is there and I would like to think they would start making more of the rarer parts to help the market out.

I know because I sat for a presentation at the Peterborough landy show, where they had the man who's in charge of the full operation talk about it all.
They are done in the same section of the factory where the design of the series 1 was done originally.
Which is a nice touch.

The guy owns pre production car 16, and owned the very first 3 door RR to be sent to Australia, it was white and cost him $500.
