What exactly would anyone get for their 45 grand? all the parts are outsourced, the design is basically as the book with irs tacked on, and as for goodwill , personally i think 45 quid is a bit steep for a list of suppliers.

Maybe you're buying forward orders... obviously a few cars in that

Other than that it's just the name - which doesn't; to be fair; carry a reputation above any others in this game. It seem's a bit steep for something that someone with a bit of business acumen couldn't build up for less.

i believe in the racing circles the stuart taylor is the car to have - based on his past wins. Perhaps thats what your buying .........

does seem steep - but its an established business which currently 'just works' all (all he says) you have to do is keep it going. Ian doesn't have a great rep for customer facing stuff (suffering fools) so it must have some potential there........

then again 45k does sound a lot!

That needs to be a BIG list of orders!

Perhaps the people who bought Robin Hood could shell out so they can have one half-decent car in their stable???

Robin Hood included a factory site and all the gear to produce them didn't it? What does the ST offer include?

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

We'd be better off all getting together and starting our own company. I'm sure with all the expertise on here we could churn out a few cars and make a profit!
