We've been here before, but the money pit head banging scenario seems to be spreading to all corners of histrionics.
We are using all original Talbot bits rather some of stuff that are used on other cars
We built it for rallies ,that in most cases tend to seriously mess up cars ,and using original cars does them no good messing up their historical heritage.
It’s a similar situation with GT40’s Whats the point of racing a proper historic car when you can buy a copy for 10% of value of an original car and race that. It’s up to organisers to police the entrants.
There are very few GT40’s that are in original condition and same thing applies to most major Pre War cars.
