Hello fellas,

I'm a total newbie if it comes to maintaining cars.
I've bought my first car about 8 years ago and after 6 months of owning it I moved the the UK, London, where car is not needed, so I just left it there.

I rent sport cars from time to time, but I'm looking to buy a Cobra. Crazy, isn't it ?
It might be a year or two before I make the purchase as I'm planing to move out of London and start a new life somewhere else and once I settle, and a Cobra will be a cherry on top.

So, as I am a total newb, I'll probably go for a manufactured Cobra, I think a Backdraft.

So a few key questions.
Excluding insurance (as I guess majority of you is from the states) how much should I be looking at to maintain a brand new car?
Also, it's had to find exact pricing, but what would be the lowest new build cost? I bet I've seen some new builds (with no extra options) for around $52k. Is it doable?

If anyone had any experience with importing a Cobra to Europe, that would be super helpful to.
