I spoke with Challenger on the phone the other day. They definitely hope to
run the MTZs again, but this is conbditional both on the amount of consumer
interest and their suppliers' scheduling. At present, the supplier has
sufficient work in hand and is giving ridiculous cost estimates. Challenger
is waiting for the schedule to open up and the price to become more viable.
I expressed my interest in purchasing one at a reasonable price, and
encourage other fans of 9903 to contact Challenger in the same vein. It
helps.
