Has anyone else seen the pricing of the new Dutton? I was expecting to see something budget like 4k, but it's over 12k! Has Mr Dutton broken away from his former sales methods?

I don't know what a ground up, budget build is these days but to me that isn't the budget for a Dutton ! His website isn't giving much away either, not even prototype photo's or renditions apart from crude looking chassis tub, is that it ?

The difference in price probably reflects a difference in quality. What was acceptable in the '70s would be laughed at now. Who goes rooting in the scrapyard now? Everything has moved on. Quality and price!

Also the builder (or assembler) of today is not the same type of person they were back then, but for
