250K is a fair chunk of change though!

That is cool. It's like the guy in Wales (MST) building the MK1 and 2 Escorts.
Not cheap but very high on the want list.

Absolutely. Does Aston remake early classics as well? Anyone else: Mustang, Jag E Type?

Wish Drive South the best of success, maybe they will do an HZ Panelvan for Rokwiz in time.

And slightly on topic: in the UK young enthusiasts are going for classics:

Probably cheaper all round just to do a full resto, and you get the genuine article. Honestly, sounds like one guy who is really obsessed with Toranas, and think there are plenty of like-minded people willing to pay for it.

hi
I know they had to put together a story but Wilwood 4 pot calipers . Many other superior brands out there. Bigger pad range , optional caliper designs , road legal seal and boot arrangement .

Might be advantageous if they get classed as ICVs
