Me, but then I was running my originals long before the rereleases.
I'm looking it from the point of someone who has collected vintage for many years and who bashers his vintage runners hard, including my Scorcher. I'm still bashing my original one and still repairing it with original parts, as spares are cheaper and more readily available than the rereleases.
I don't get the "if it's £350 I would have one" argument when for £350 you can get an original in pretty mint condition for the same money, and the only spares hard to find are rear arm mounts. Even the bodies are still being made. Maybe it's due to the ad, but there's quite a few choices on ebay right now
