I'm not sure, but I'd guess it will have been in the ball park of £4-6k to scan, manipulate and then produce and fit the buck to the chassis. In terms of paying an hourly rate to measure the model, scale it up, transfer to plywood and then make the buck, there is a lot of hours....

If you are interested in Case studies, I work on a few daft projecst like this (I'm an Ex patern maker / product designer) and currently have another similar old car project on the go; my own clubmans car for wich I produced the buck in my single garage at home; and also have developed (& patented) a safety rail system for van roof racks (Google 'Vehicle Edge Protection System') also in the garage at home for which I've had prototype extrusion sections 3D printed. If any of these are of interest / use in getting youngsters interested in Design or engineering, PM me and I can give you some info for future case studies
