Therein lays the problem possibly Richard re 105s today, for indeed I agree with what you say. I recall when was only a kid when 105s were new, just how expensive they were. From memory, a new 1750GTV was essentially the same cost as an E-Type Jag.
I similarly recall when the Alfetta GTV was new, as friend of my brothers (who was very wealthy) bought a new one back in the late 1970's and was extremely envious of him. I was happy to have had the mere opportunity of him taking me for a drive in it on more than one occasion.
At that time, as a broke Uni student I was driving around in my beat up '69 AC 124 Sport and feeling pretty lucky I had been able to have that car. It took me until the early 90s before I could afford an Alfetta GT and feeling pretty special that I had finally managed to get one of these, and not until '97 before i could afford my 1750 GTV. Dave
