The 4CV was great but the Dauphines or Florides were lethal in twisty roads, too light at the front, R8 and 10 a bit better but not much, unless the Gordini versions.

All wheel drive and front wheel drive cars and anything with a turbo on it. Over -rated to the max !

Doubt it, the prices are stupid for what they are. The GTHO spec's of any phase aren't exactly a state secret, a replica that's correct in every way is cheaper to build. XB GT was a better looking car IMHO and had 4 wheel discs that they all should have had.

Pfft, if you fools want to pay that much for that experience and are the sort of clown that wants to rent a bank vault to store your chassis plate in, go right ahead. Nobody is stopping you, they are laughing at you and your small willyness.

I just worry about my own backyard, and have no interest in crapping in the neighbours.

dunno . IS seem to prefer them over all other vehicles.
maybe they can do 100,000 km with no service ? Seem a bit inflammable at times.

Owning is not the same as appreciating. Even if I had won Wednesday's 15 million lotto prize, I would not get an old GTHO for myself, but I would still appreciate them. But more importantly, I would not belittle those that do own them, that is the true sign of "small willyness".

A counter to that (there are millions of them. ). I have my dad's '67 1300. My parents bought it in '70. Dad died 8 1/2 years ago so he had the car for 37 years. Only one thing ever stopped it in that time - a broken conrod. Sure that's major but nothing else stopped it from doing its job.

I recently had a new 70 series double cab V8 to test for a couple of days, talk about over engineered! The front axle was actually larger than the one on my 6 ton farm tractor. Lucky they are reliable because you practically need 2 strong men to get the bonnet up. Mean V8 sound while engine braking down hills, you certainly don't get that in a Ranger. Got to admire Toyota for staying 100% committed to the purpose of the vehicle, I had the LX 'luxury' model, and the single comfort feature was it had a cup holder, and electric windows.

Folk paying big dollars cause they want an original, be part of the history buzz of Bathurst. Phase 3 in our family is mint but still gets used from time to time.
Rare cars with a high demand - why should they not be able to be worth a bob or two like other rare cars ?
