Spider

Post by digger303 »

I saw a Classic Pocher kit come up for sale today.
$900 aud for the Spider Touring Grand Sport.

Is this normal for these old kits. I understand they had a lot of extra metal parts and the like, but came with a lot of fit issues.
OR is having one of these more like a cult must have talking show off type of situation rather than actually building them ?
I think I only ever seen one built here and even then my memory is a bit hazy on it.

:cheers2:
Listen and appear wise

When they get to these crazy values, they're just trading commodities. Whoever buys this will almost certainly hold it for a few years and then sell it at a profit.

I have no interest in kits of this type and my opinions on the traders themselves is something I keep to myself.
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

Yes cult situation, limited supply and a rarity for the old classic ones
The Mercedes and the Bugattis go for even more!
