Clearly, with an unlimited budget, one can buy infinitesimally small increments in both cosmetic or performance that are largely unused (like 3.6 vs 3.2). This car would far exceed almost anyone's ability to drive it on the street...and looks are largely owner preference. Obviously, I am judging from the photos.

Of course it is not a $100K+ car, but I bet it sells for less than you could build a duplicate (and much less than any Singer). If I were in the market, I would happily bid on this and simply change the cosmetic things that I would do differently.

With all due respect, it is a very nice hot rod targa but its no where near the league of a Singer. Of course it would not cost anywhere near that to build either.

The thing with all of these hot rods is that..... If you pay someone to build one you'll never get your money out of it. So this car is nice but what the builder has into it has no bearing on the market value.
