Ive commented on this on another thread.
Its not as though he has these jobs piled up every month. I would be surprised if he has done more than one.
Thing is, Its a headline attention grabber. "£7000" it gets people talking (like we are now)
Think about this.....
Ferrari F40. mint one = WORTH A FORTUNE!!
Full Concourse Restoration is going to take 4 weeks. I mean every nut and bolt gleaming. The carbon fibre panels machine polished, the full WHAMMY plus an £8000 wax (which i have too )
I am going to want an hourly rate of about £45 to work on a car like that. Insurance liabilities have to be considered. Its irreplaceable. Please bear in mind, for servicing at BMW you will be paying about £120 main dealer. Ive just come back from the dentist and he charges what works out about £200/hr.
You only want to be doing a 40 hour week with a Job like a ferrari F40, you need all the concentration you have, so no silly hours.
£45 x 40 hour week - £1800
4 weeks - £7200.
So the owner of a priceless car, pays somebody £7200 For a MONTHS worth of work. In return he gets a car back that is absolutely astonishing. And it probably puts his F40 near the top of the "the F40" list (mileage dependant) for only £7200?
Thats money well spent!!
