Actually, it's just a good deal. The seller had the engine re-done at 8,600 miles, there are some paint issues. The interesting thing is that the seller provided every piece of paper that has been generated since the Cobra was built, including the build specs from ERA, a manual covering the Jag rear-end, all receipts with the mileage noted on most of them, two boxes of extra parts (some new parts included), special tools - like a HUGE allen wrench - it's purpose is to remove/tighten the pins on which the Halibrands are mounted.
The seller was fully ready to deal with a gearhead, as he knew his stuff, but he ended up with a buyer (me) that was simply sold when I heard the sound of the high rise long duration cam (really lopes at idle). To me, that is nothing that sounds better in the car world.
