http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Other/auction-198287297.htm Just came across this. Looks like a lot of work went into this car. NZ$ is at record lows against US$ so could be a good buy for someone. I have nothing to do with the seller and if this is in the wrong place, mod is welcome to move. Cheers Neil T
No shots of the front. Don't know if it's a coincidence or not as that area is usually the most off. Anyone care the share any details on the car?
Wow that puppy is fast. Much faster than a real one. This looks like a qreat Kit. It's components are top quality: Twin plate ‘Rally Spec’ Tilton racing clutch Quaife Six speed Sequential transaxle gearbox It also has traction control. Definitely worth the asking price.
i remember reading their old side, or maybe a different one, had the entire build on it. if i remember correctly the panels were real and were replacements for a crashed f40. thye were sitting at a dealer. he bought them or got moulds of them. only thing that looks a bit out is the front bonnet looks a bit long. otherwise an amazing machine!!!!
As of today's exchange rate, $125000 NZ dollars is $63,754 USD. So given the performance/fun/sophistication factor, it is reasonable. Harder question is to find the right buyer in this market. Tough to say...
Agree. Cool looking car. If I am planning to use a car hard, I am not at all adverse to a very high spec fake. Fun factor is huge, no need to retain originality and ability to personalise is endless. I am very frustrated with Classiche
Are you sure that those are the same replica F40s? There seems to be quite a few differences between the cars: The F40 Motorsport one is an LM replica whereas the Trademe one isn't. They have different seats, dashes and gauge clusters too. The motorsport one is Turbo-charged and the Trademe one is supercharged etc I've seen the F40 Motorsport one at a motorshow when it was in the VDO Dayton livery. It looked very impressive for a replica. If anyone wants me to check out the one on Trademe I'd be happy to take it for a test drive on your behalf
Yes it would be much faster than a real one. It would also brake a lot quicker. If you do see one don't tail gate it in a real one. Also don't challenge it to a drag race in your Enzo.
