Not Ranked
I spoke with Ashton Marshall (I think that is his name) at Fine Sports Cars a few years ago. Very nice and very knowledgeable. The office is in San Diego, but their cars are made in NZ. Not sure if they are affiliated with Tempero. They make replicas of just about everything (DBRs, Testa Rosas, GTOs, California Spyders, GT-40s, exotic Jaguars). I have not seen one of their cars in person nor heard much about them. He said that they could do a Scarab for about $100K (no donor car required), a DBR for about $150K (high donor car - DB4-6 - price). $100-150K is a lot to drop based only on the salesperson's representation that it will be an exact replica. He said that they built a Scarab or almost built a series of Scarabs (I cannot remember which) for Count Dickie, Lance Reventlow's brother. However, the Beck is so close to a Sacarab though, and Beck has a known reputation and is a little cheaper.
Has anyone seen anything from finesportscars.com?
Thanks,
Lew
