i think it has a lot to do with people not wanting them because they are a "special" model, especially the XR8's and GT's.
id rather work up, say, an EB Ghia V8 compared to an EB GT , for the simple fact that modding a GT is sacreliage (sp..). not only that, the seccond you mod anything on it its resale plummets because its not original. add to that, people trying to sell a "tickford" car are often asking way too much for it.... an EB Ghia is much better value, especially if you're not leaving it standard |

I still have my ELXR8 & wont be getting rid of it for a long time.
Its now at the stage to start to do some mods. When I first joined the club in 2001 it was all EF & EL XRs. Your right you dont seem to see to many around. The clubs have turned into BA clubs lol.
