Welcome to the madness Marc...

Judging by this post of yours taken from another thread.

With these parameters, I'm thinking if I was in your shoes I'd opt to purchase 2nd hand.

This will allow you to buy in without risking the bank yet have you driving the soonest possible way. It will also allow you to go through the process of tinkering and tweaking to your liking.

If my budget was $30K, I'd consider:

1) If I was going for originality A Contemporary CCX, similar to this one posted in classifieds, just so you get the idea. This particular one is over budget, and most CCX may be, but I'm all for getting as much as possible for as little as possible.

2) If I was looking for something to race or track I'd look at, a JBL similar to this one on Cobra Country:
For Sale: 1966 Cobra custom replica by JBL Motorsports. Aston Martin Pentland Green. Here! Professionally built by the JBL Motorsports team. Blah blah...


3) Other options that sit in the middle of the two posted above and that are sound options for that sort of money include:
BDR. - PhotoPost Classifieds - BDR Cobra with only 4000 miles - Washington State - Powered by PhotoPost Classifieds
Factory five racing (FFR) - These can be had in MkII, MkIII & MKIV (MKIV's are currently being produced by FFR)
Unique - PhotoPost Classifieds - 1966 -SHELBY 427 SC Cobra - Powered by PhotoPost Classifieds

There are obviously others, and as you can see you'll get many people happily trying to spend your $30K

Just telling you where I'd start if I were in your shoes and it were my hard earned.


On a side note if I had 40K This would be a done deal!!!!
