If you read my piece again you will see the qualification I mentioned
"To suggest that someone could build it for £15k is fatuous nonsense IMHO, ---unless they have a private income or are prepared to work for nothing and have a fully equipped professional workshop at their disposal.--- "
Having seen the car I would guess that there was not a nut, bolt or washer that was nor new, nor a part left unfinished or un-plated or uncoated or replaced as new.
I was not suggesting that the forum readers don't have the skills, I'm continually impressed by some of the work I see but the majority of us would not live long enough to complete the job to the same standard if we were doing it as a hobby.
The discussion was around the price of the vehicle, not the value and I stand by my assertion.
