I enjoyed the video. And the car looks amazing! Sounded alright as well. As mentioned, on the lottery list now.. Although high 300s to $500K seemed a hell of a lot.

Also, I might be out of line here, but don't you think the cars are a bit over-priced? All those mistakes made and re-tooling required needs to be paid for I guess.
End result is simply stunning though. Definite lottery purchase for me.

I've worked in a shop with a laptop...it's impossible to keep it clean. Whatever macbooks are made of stains incredibly easily.

Great video. I would almost certainly buy one should i win the lottery. I'd have it in a dark gun metal, with an interior with red highlights to match my 2nd purchase.....

Nice bit of kit & more great video work from Mr Harris but $500K worth? Not sure about that.

Brilliant brilliant car but I can't help thinking ... 50k perfect condition donor car and 100k amazing restoration and improvement job = 150k ... I could understand asking 200k or so, but 300k to 500k?

Not just a restoration though, that custom Cosworth engine sounds amazing. Definitely on my lotto win list

Wonder how much money you'd have to chuck a Flewy for something similar? I guess getting the handling spot on is the difficult part. Took me quite a few years with the 968 and I've got it almost exactly how I want it now.

I watched about 5 minutes or more but got bored. It is a nice looking car but given Eagles prices for similar "remakes" it seems quite expensive. What is $300k in real money though? I liked the version Porsche did with the brown leather and duck tail. No way I would spend tha sort of money on car unless I had just won euro millions rollover and even then it would probably be months and months down the line after I had got used to spending dream house money on a car!

I reckon I could get bloody close for less than 70k, depending on just how bespoke the final product was. Its my dream to get a name for doing similar to Singer, although to virtually any car you can think of rather than just one brand/vehicle type. My usp would be that its all handcrafted, painted, assembled, shakendown and setup by me in a crap shed just outside of Weston-super-Mare.

Yep, love it. I like the geeky video approach. I WANT to know about the different catch required for the longer bonnet!

Video was ok, it's not at Harry levels of detail or interesting facts but Harris should try and make a few more like this. Alas a very well made and interesting car no less, but not really my cup of tea. I'd rather a classic rally style and an RUF.
