I was looking for clues for the homebuilt Serbian car in one of your other puzzles, and came across the Faber. It was built by a Dragan Pavlovic, and apparently was one of a limited series of 11 cars - I have doubts that he would find buyers for that many. The claim is that it would get to 230kph, but all this was on a Mercedes C-class engine. The cost of this beauty (IMO the worst replica 540K/SSK I have ever seen) was 230,000 Euros.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia
