No it doesn't. If you allow $6,000 over the 28k you will have considered 
several years of inflation of the costs presently suggested by Barry Albin 
and Co., CI's UK agents. (Although this hasn't been tested, I think you can 
avoid the UK's 17.5% value added tax by arranging for CI to order the 
transport from the USA rather than paying for it out of your trust or 
estate).

It depends on what facilities you have. A friend of mine refurbishes old 
Jaguars in his garage, doing one every five years or so. I can't see him 
making one from scratch.

Although he makes a lot of money on paper - enough to buy another house in 
fact - I can't help but wonder whether his actual hourly pay is pretty 
pathetic. But he justs prefers to work on his own rather than in the stress 
of employment. The point remains to it would be impossible for him to build 
one from scratch but he can and does refurbish rusting hulks that look like 
rubbish to me.
