Hi,

I've got a Car Friend who is the original owner of a genuine Porsche 550 Spyder - #47 (bought it at 24, he's 76 now).

At $1.5M+, he cannot afford to have a new driver, or immigrant w/o insurance, etc., hit him, so he can no longer drive it. He does bring it out to several Car Shows annually via covered trailer.

So, he got a Beck Spyder several years ago. He loves it. Says it's actually a much better car than the original - more Power, better Suspension and Brakes, better Handling, much more solid, easier maintenance. He's put over 30k mi. on the Beck. I also got the chance to drive them both, and I have to agree.

I asked him if he should sell #47, that he could then buy both a CGT, GT3, and a Turbo, all of which he could drive, and still realize about a $900k - $1.1M profit. He replied: "Uh, No..."

Happy Motoring!... Jim
