956/962 Porsches are rare and if available, very very expensive.

Prices are upwards of 300,000 Euro, expected of such a legendary race car.

http://www.davegriffithsracing.co.uk/cars4sale.htm US$375,000
http://www.toadhallracing.com/toad-262.html US$595,000

However, this man builds 962 replicas (tube frames and aluminium monocoques - original 962s were monocoque only). They look authentic and this man has paid attention to the finest details. They have the exact same dimensions of the original 962s.

That is impressive, the attention to detail is very good. I'm just surprised that after all that time an effort he hasn't fitted something like a 993 twin turbo engine.

I don't normaly like replicas but that is so close to the real thing.
