How did you get that price for a Taipan when they don't make them at all? Must be the last quoted price from mid '06 as I haven't heard that they restarted production.

Also in the last few years of Taipan building the prices were jacked up as production volume dropped off to single digits per annum. I know a friend who bought a Taipan in the low 300s sail number who didn't pay anywhere near that kind of price new for a stock Taipan. So I don't think the last quoted price of a Taipan is a good indicator.
