thing that a replica is trying to achieve is is creating something that has already been created and replicating that you're starting from a blank sheet of paper so you're able to create your own set of requirements and targets what did you what did you set in those early days as we are trying to achieve

this oh yeah that's that's very interesting because i spent a lot of time thinking about the attributes and the the values that i wanted I distilled it down into three primary characteristics.

I wanted something that was beautiful, first of all, because I think almost there's a moral obligation to, if you are going to create something, you want to try and make it beautiful because then that brings pleasure to other people.

There's also a commercial benefit to beauty in that people tend to respond to beautiful things more openly, more enthusiastically, and they also tend to look after beautiful things.

If you look at, say, classic car ownership, one of the reasons why I think those cars have stayed So relevant and have been cared is an antique piece of furniture or a beautiful old piano.

If it's beautiful, you're going to value it and you're going to care for it.

So from a commercial perspective, if you're looking to build something that has long-term value, You want to make it beautiful so that the owners and the purchasers are inclined to look after it.

tell me about the inspiration for the car what cars from the past have given you targets to aspire to
