    Well if the question has to be equivalent value, that’s quite difficult to answer.

    As much as I respect Porsche’s they just don’t excite me.
    Couldn’t see myself buying a Lambo.

    I’d probably just have a nice daily driver and spend the rest of the $350k on something else.

    :D

    Pur Sang means pure blood, an interesting name to give to a replica. The term is of course stolen from Bugatti and no doubt is trademarked and copyrighted by VW, who paid good money to buy Bugatti from Romano Artioli.

    I assume they get away with the use of Bugatti logos, model names and trademarks because they're in Argentina. I'm surprised VW allow the cars to be imported to Europe. e.g. under Italian law, copy Ferraris are crushed.

    There are a handful of Pur Sang T35s in Australia and you see them running in regularity at Historic meetings, because as replicas they're not eligible for racing.

    There's a lovely older bloke in Melbourne who I chat with every year at Phillip Island, who campaigns a real T35C, which has been in Australia since 1960. He seems to have no particular concern about its value - he just loves it as a car.

    True and true ,mind you it’s hard not to admire this small committed company in their plight for perfection respecting the traditional manufacturing methods where possible, as for your acquaintance in Melbourne wow ! My dad always says luck is for the Ill prepared and I would say that in general life that’s primarily true but to own a prewar Bugatti Racing car is just plain lucky.Expensive and impossibly rare due to long term family ownership not to mention maintenance sparesA Faberge Easter egg with wheels and the people who own them love them like a member of the family it’s very cool .
    Cheers Ian good stuff

    I’d probably rather have an NSX than any of the modern McLarens.

    I reckon the MP4-12C is still the best looking of them (apart from P1 of course),
    I can’t come to grips with the front end design after that.

    Horse is right. For similar value, I’d be looking at a GT3, or even an Aston. I love the look of them.

    TVRs don't have owners, they have unpaid test drivers and pre-delivery inspectors. After this much time, the bugs will have been ironed out. Those Cerbera 4.5s go like sh
