When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

I like it. I like it a lot. Not for £10,500 it has to be said, but I still like it. Do you think you get splinters when polishing it?

I think it's quite special and to be fair probably is worth that much.
I wouldn't pay that much for it personally but hey...
"no other car will match it"
I would have thought owners of wooden cars would be careful about mentioning matches

not my cup of tea but it looks like some nice craftsmanship on the woodwork...
as for the price... well I have just got an agreed value of 10k for my Tiger! (thats based on what it cost me to build) so maybe it's not so
over the top....

I do quite like the boat shape vintage idea thing.
I wonder if I could make a fibre glass replica ......

I see, according to the blurb, that it was built by a member of the Guild of Master Craftsmen, so presumably someone who drives a rusty ten year old
transit, because that's where I see most of their signs

Sorry - the body could have been executed in a far more graceful fashion than that... The boat tail is out of proportion - the grill surround reminds
me of a wooden toilet seat.

if you die, you* can remove the engine, attach some brass handles and be buried inside it. what a prefect ending.
* actually not you but someone else.
