I really wanted something more period correct.

For now I have been looking to importing a car direct from the US that has so many Cobra's to choose from. Has anyine imported an ERA? What about importing a car more than 25 years old? Would that be easier?
I looked into it (importing an ERA to South Australia) back about 10 years ago, and quickly decided that it was far too difficult.
Victoria might be different. If you are not already a member, you should consider joining the Vic. club, or at least go to some of their meetings. They would be able to give you good advice. I did actually attend one of their meetings several years ago. It's a big club (at least by Adelaide standards ) and they will have a lot of the answers to your questions. As well, they're a nice, friendly mob.

Good luck, and I admire your preferred choice of an ERA Cobra. Great cars!

Cheers,
Glen
