I don't think its overpriced, for 1 this one has reasonable straight in air things between repeater/hood, most new build have 'bad wings were the cut outs are wrong, so those black air thing are not straight in but really bad crooked, just watch all newly done classics, 60% or so have that part crooked, I think its because of the side panels supplied, I think most order them by the same supplier, the wrong one lol.

look, left and right pretty good in the spaces were they fit, the black things, some have chroom, or gause?

The finish looks good from the pics.

The question is what would this have cost to build to this standard?

this on the other hand doesnt look so good body wise

Theon design cars are pure gash.

Nasty things.

Personally I like them but at 750k all in no thanks.

My 3.6 SC backdate will be going up for sale again soon. Not for the purist but a little more authentic looking than the Rindt.

Very nice .
Where will you list it ?!

BrewsterBear said:

I've just renewed the listing on here. It's been tucked up in the workshop all winter, however I'll get some photos of the engine and underside at some point soon and update the ad.

Real stunner GLWS

Not a back date but I couldn't help but be wowed by what I thought looked a quality restoration-

Reading the work undertaken, and seeing the end result - I'd suggest worth every penny of the asking price.

Was my thinking also

Nice ST clone listed today. As they go, for that price, seems on the better side of things.

Love that great detail looks well executed

[GT3Manthey]

No real details yet but just for fun I'm wondering what this gets up to ?

I don't think it's 300. This one looks much better value

That looks epic and considering the time and money invested worth every penny .

Probably a little hardcore for some on the road but for some track work it'll be perfect.

Might be worth the asking price put back to standard.
Looks dreadful

£450K, + the donor car ....and not that impressive interior in my opinion.

There's a YouTube vid I watched highlighting Singer values VS the other resto mod builders.

€600k for a Theon when you add the donor car sold for €231 at auction Vs a Singer that made double it's original purchase price.
Similarly a Paul Stephens car that costs £250k sold at around £150.

Indeed. I made this point somewhere else in the thread, in relation to the Theon. If another Theon came up for sale, I think I'd definitely follow it closely. Of course, if it came up at a dealer - they would no doubt stick it up at a "Singer price".

They just can't match the quality and attention to detail of the Singer cars. Maybe there is also a bigger following for resto's in the US too .

Ffffaster said:

I hear you and agree, but does one really need a 10/10 car? If the Theon is an 8 and is a quarter the prices, seems like a decent prospect to me.

I hear you and would be a decent prospect if you knew you could recoup your cash on exit .
Seems that's the tricky bit with resto's other than singers

The body of the Mega 30 has been extensively redesigned by Strosek to achieve an even more aggressive and aerodynamically optimized appearance. Wider fenders, a redesigned front apron and a tailor-made rear spoiler not only improve the aesthetics but also the vehicle's stability at high speeds.

Yours for only €350K

Quite like that other than the wheels which look
Like they've come from an Argos catalogue.
Guess that's an easy change.

Slimmed thru the vid Slippy .
