Don't know but I'd imagine its in the league of Pauls NYRS car as a example and I hear he wants 50k plus for that and thats just a built car with no motorsport history I believe.

TBH although I love Pauls car I find it difficult to picture who would buy it for 50K+
Its not actually a developed trackday package so probably of limited interest to someone after a serious trackday car
Its not a nice original RS500 so of no interest to any collector of the standard car
Its not an actual motorsport car with any heritage so no interest to a collector of such things.
Its ultimately just a half arsed visual "replica" of the caltex car, its not even mechanically and electronically a replica as far as im aware, so although loads of us love it as a car, would any of us pay 50K for it?
I suspect he'll struggle!

It's not a faithful replica, but Paul's never claimed it is. It's a fantastic car that pays homage to the Caltex cars. That, in my book at least, does not qualify it as being 'half-arsed'!

Your point being that its "not a faithful replica" but of course isnt "a half arsed replica" as those are totally different things obviously ![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
Sorry but semantics or not, those really do read as the same thing to me, we're both saying that as a replica it falls a long way short of being an accurate one, and we're both saying elsewhere in our posts that doesnt stop it being a fantastic car.
I really dont see that there is much content in your point, other than perhaps you feel my language pays a little less lip service than yours?

I think half arsed is a bit of a dig to be honest ! if anyone said to me its half arsed i would automaticly think its built in rush & not as good as it could be but this car is built well imho might not be a exact replica. agreed it is a collectors car tho would e a shame to use it on track & its not a road car unless you register it so its a expensive orniment.

So I really dont see that it being a half arsed replica is a dig.
I would describe my car in the same way in terms of being a half-arsed rs500 replica. Im happy with the standard of it as a car, but as a replica rs500 its falling along way short on the colour for example
![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
My point is that if you wanted to be paying 50K for a replica of something on the basis that its a replica, you would generally want a faithful replica.
but this car is built well imho
Lovely car, but half arsed / not faithful / not as good as it could be (*delete as appropriate to your sensibilities) in terms of being a replica.

Half-arsed implies it has been carried out without much enthusiasm or conviction. Paul may be a Yorkshire cunt, but if there's one thing he doesn't lack, it's conviction.
It's not a faithful replica, but Paul's never claimed it is. It's a fantastic car that pays homage to the Caltex cars. That, in my book at least, does not qualify it as being 'half-arsed'!

Oh the caltex is a bargan in the scheme of it the build quality is brilliant so a race car with history will sell for 100k + so 50k is a good price for paul's ! there are several rs500 race cars that are reshelled or been built with all race car bits that fetch more

Hopefully they now have enough details about my post to be able to get back on with their lives without worrying about it anymore and there wont need to be anymore posts on the subject as like has been said, its already very boring

Chip you realy do amaze me , just when i thought it was impossible for you to be any more of a total cunt you do a better job
For your info
1, the car IS NOT a replica of anything , Its a race car built to comply with modern rules , Yes it has the caltex colours and stickers simply becasue i liked them , IT WAS NEVER BUILT TO REPLICATE the caltex car
2, My car is actually a better spec that the origonal Caltex car
3, I have turned down an offer of just a tad under 50k so to say i wont get the asking price i would beg to differ , I also have a serious buyer from Norway who wished to view the car after xmas and i have told him that 50k WONT buy it and not to bother coming over with less than my asking price
4, I have had comments for 3 race car builders , 1 who is famous and one who is one of the most respected race car builders in england and who told me that it was one of the best built race cars he has ever seen and that a car built to the same ( RACE ) spec and build quality would cost betweem 150 and 180 k
Thats whos opinion i would say matters , Not some jumped up internet warrior who simply hasnt the tallent to build a car of anywhere near this quality
If you think the car is Half arsed then please tell me IYO where i have gone wrong as i could do with a laugh

Its not half arsed as a replica at all then, its zero arsed in that context obviously
