I have cobra replica kits in stock and for sale now that can be built very quickly and easily by inexperienced builders. Actually in a fraction of the time it takes to build a 540 and I would know as we have built both in the shop. Quick build limited spec kits are not for everyone, but they certainly broaden the appeal and market. Which means more Cobra owners enjoying and driving their cars. What percentage of Cobra kits are not completed and on the road in 5 years or even 10 years?

JD, we are not a company that are focussed on donor type kits, we have been successful in moving away from that approach. In my experience the market it moving away from that appraoch in Cobra kits. Donor doesn't always necessary equate to better value. For example there are no donor vehicle suspension parts in our PACE 427 kit.

Resale value has always been in replicas of the popular iconic classic vehicles. In my opinion this will always be the case. i.e. replicas of 60's Cobra's, 60's GT40's etc.
