I personally know of 4 men who purchased 4 different pre-owned Cobras who dealing with over -heats, incorrect rear end set ups, bump steer, difficult peddle set ups, worn out engines etc. These units were purchased from 35 to 50 thousand dollar range. When having to redesign the rack and pinion on a used car because of bump steer is very expensive.

DO you really want to send your money on a car that will have to be brought up to Canadian Standards just to get it registered and insured in Canada? Our DOT is very sticky on kit cars, and rollers being brought into Canada for a reason. DO you think the State side manufacturers give two hoots about a 15 year old car?? NOT!!!

Makes no sense. Kirkham is a premier builder and 15 years is nothing for that car. People are driving other replicas that are 30 years old. You just need to constantly inspect and monitor things.
