Okay, so just how much does it cost be build a Pembleton Grasshopper Supersports like Josephine and go adventuring?

Here are the approximate costings I jotted down on the back of a beer mat the other day:

• donor cars - £250
• Pembleton Grasshopper Kit - £1200
• Ali Sheets - £250
• Brake pipe kit - £60
• Rubber fuel pipes - £70
• Brooklands screens - £135
• Exhausts - £60
• Mirrors - £20
• Dashboard Switches - £25
• Seats - £150
• Lights - £70
• Indicators - £20
• Coil, plugs, points - £35
• Sundries (rivets, tools, cable, hose, etc)- £250
• msva - £130
• Registration & Tax - £66
• Number plates - £20

---------------------

• Total - £2801

These costs are off the top of my head, but I think are pretty accurate. I don't think I've missed any major elements / costs from the list. The only real guess is for the 'Sundries' which covers everything else I haven't included in the list. To air on the safe side we'll call the final figure a round £3000.

So for £3000 and a little sweat spread over (I'd say) 8 weeks you get to have one of these on the road:

Finished front view. Note new front grill.

Finished rear view. Note new light board design.

Finished dash layout.

Copper cockpit joint. My favorite design feature!

Cool dudes!
