Yep. I always found it utterly baffling how they had lasted so long.
Honestly, I thought they were dead long ago

I guess all the customers who remembered who they are (IE people like us, but several million in value) have all.....I dunno, died? Were happy with what they had?

Vague description of a car that doesn't exist and has no market + absurdly optimistic price.

Under the hood, each car will be powered by a 6.4-liter Chrysler Hemi V8 coupled to an eight-speed ZF gearbox, with updated suspension and electrical components.
Models that will undergo recreation include the 411 Series 8, Fighter, and Speedster, with prices starting at £495,000...

I went to the open day a couple of years ago and saw the Bullet in the workshop there. The build quality was shocking. Orange peel paint and wonky interior. All for a mere £250k. I don't suppose they sold (m)any.
Check out the paint quality on the bonnet...
