250 SWB Headlight options
I decided to proeprly cost the build today and started doing a spreadsheet in Excel. Took about 10 minutes to completely lose interest and start pissing around with Photoshop, lol!
I wondered what the various headlights might look like other than the P700's that are on the demonstrator - warning I'm not greta at sorting perspective out on photoshop but this is what it came out like...may or may not help your choices! http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/...psheq53dvm.jpg Obvious rear badge idea - great minds (Robbie!) http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/...psfcw2uiw0.jpg |
Less obvious rear badge - flip the bar on it's head...think it looks pretty good - homage but not total rip

According to the "KitCar" magazine review you can build one for £12k or have one built, "turn key" for a little under £18k !
I think you can build one at home for around £7 - 8k . |
Probably - but it depends on the spec. you're happy with I guess.
Anyway with the money you save you could buy this! http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/THE-ULTIMATE...432?nav=SEARCH |
I think the lucas P700 work best.
Its good that kitcar mag states them costs as im sure it is closer to £8k mark but the higher they say, the higher the end value of the car hopfully will be |
Probably aligning with the Bertini market price... wonder how many of them have been sold?
|
The Bertini demo car has been up for sale almost a year I think - big ask on the price.
I suspect I'll be in 10.5k by the end and I'd be more than happy if I got near that when (if!) it came to sale |
I know for certain that he has sold 2 Bertinis. I was speaking to one of the owners and he was criticizing the front end styling of the car. I agreed and then asked Antony Cherry, who was sat next to me, what he thought.
There was an awkward silence for a short while |

I think for the home builder this car is a winner and probably worth £10k + once finished. |

God only 2? Disheartening but I'm with you though - excellent job on the rear which doesn't follow through to the front. |
Maybe more, only two that I have seen owners for

Same night I was chatting to the guys who do the Stratos replicas (Hawk Cars) and asked them why they referred to their kits a "Whore cars"
I may have had a glass of wine at that point |

He paid people to do everything and the price reflects that he doesn't laminate them himself. |

KitCar magazine quoted - that Bertinis have been selling well. I don't believe too much that is written in the magazines anymore after all Tribute didn't get a mention in the 250swb write up |
There was no mention of the hard top SWB and they talked about the Kalifornia as a replica which it isn't really. Ferrari didn't make a convertible SWB.
Shame they didn't mention Tribute or explain the connection. Talked endlessly about the autobox though ! |
