Wouldn't spend 25K euros on it... If you want one just buy an esseesse and get a full body wrap with that design, I'm sure that would be significantly cheaper :P Especially if you got a 2nd hand esseesse, could end up with a car that looks and runs exactly the same for about 8k cheaper

I believe a A500 esseesse in that spec would cost close to 25 k euro in Luxembourg anyway.  I think my planned spec car from Germany will be just over 25k with sabelts and Monza and then 20k in VAT and Taxes to get Norwegian plates on it :(

The base price in Germany is 18,5 k euro

I am surprised they are only making 10. Seems a lot of agro for so few cars.

Maybe they're a wrap?
Just had a flashback to one of those JPS Capri's of the late 70's :puke:

The Gulf colours and Le Mans are very emotive and many vehicles get stickered up for the June for the visit to Circuit de la Sarthe with the famous blue and orange. Those colours draw a great deal of attention.

I like it and the spec is very nice although they could do with some wheels that match it a little better than the standard 5 petals.

i've added another picture as well

Just about to say exactly the same about the petals. Otherwise, a good bit of fun I say. I've always liked the gulf colours.  :thumb:

 ;D ;D

All I can say is WOW!! Only just seen this, its my wallpaper now.
 I know i would of paid the extra for a sanctioned limited run, Gulf colours are IMO the most iconic racing colours. GT40 greatest car ever and Porsche 917 such a iconic shape.
I,d love to see the sabelt seats.
