I'm not interested at 10% of the price. Sure hope that they are building these using new bodies and not buying cars for conversion. Don't expect the volume to be very large!

The U.K.-based RBW EV Cars builds new, handcrafted sports cars inspired by those on the market during the 1960s to 1970s. For those vehicles destined for sale in the U.S., RBW will assemble those in Danville, Virginia, roughly 20 minutes away from Virginia International Raceway.

What’s the chief advantage of this for customers? It will dramatically cut down the shipping time, with no large ocean to cross. RBW EV Cars expects production to begin at the facility in February 2025.
Furthermore, just because RBW is British, it doesn’t mean the company only offers right-hand drive (but still expect a Union Jack under the bonnet).
During Monterey Car Week, RBW debuted the first left-hand-drive versions of its Roadster and new GT. While the cars look like classics, they feature modern technologies, such as Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, satellite navigation and an EV powertrain.
The Roadster starts at $139,000, the GT at $151,000. For more information, visit rbwevcars.com.

In reply to MGfanatic :
Indeed, they're creating new bodies. I will say this, the interiors are incredibly well done. I have yet to drive one, though.
