250K is a fair chunk of change though!

That's very cool.

Wonder what Falcons he has in mind? Surely an XA Coupe

Wild Violet, coyote V8, white trim... mmmm

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
