If I were the buyer I wouldn't spend too much time on this one unless someone has dated receipts in hand (a previous owner, most likely) and definite proof that the car was properly imported in 1988. There are too many other cars out there that can be verified to spend too much time on it. If I were the buyer I wouldn't want to get stuck with a car that can't get through customs due to some gap in the paperwork.
Good points! My understanding the Cobra has been overseas for sometime. So its an in-country purchase.
