It is evident that some people part with their money easier than others. Before i did the job i do now i worked as a profesional vintage car restorer, most of the work was on pre war Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars. If we made a bonnet like that it would have gone in the bin.
You equate one off vintage car restorers to a car production line? Extremely uninformed at the least.
Another friend of mine recently had an old Ferrari restored, cost him over £300k. How does that compare to building a new car with all the legislative issues involves? You have no idea do you.
