Never really been into vintage or re-release stuff myself despite being old enough to have raced when Rough Riders ruled. I do admire the pictures of the great stuff people manage to restore and collect but never really had a great desire to own them myself.
However this is one of only 2 cars I have ever said if I had money I would want on a display shelf in my man cave. For me it was the car that took 1/10th off-road to the next level and made the previous cars all look like toys.
A re-re at a realistic price £300ish (??) would be fine by me.
I know the true collectors would still want originals but I would be made up. Just need to find someone to do a decent stars and stripes paintjob!!
Got to say though, I'd love it to happen but just can't quite see it. Really hope I'm wrong.
