Fiberglass or Aluminium body

[fonti]

Wow - what a day!
First I went to a car dealer who is specialised in oldtimers and who is registering an ERA right now. Nice car...but he told me that aluminium is always better, well we'll seee later on that.
The ERA is very nicely made, the driving position is comfortable for me 6'2"...
Then in the afternoon I was at AMS, they are kind of a Superformance and Cobra dealer for Switzerland. Man - it is a difference between Superformance/ERA and Kirkham/Shelby aluminium Body. I mean, I don't have a Cobra and don't want to "judge". The fiberglass Cobras look absolutely great but for me it's gonna be aluminium if possible. (availability and financial possibilities!) The aluminium felt more like a car, it's hard to describe...
Now I called the guy in Californa for the Kirkham who is in Cobracountry for 77500 - but it's already sold to a French guy in Florida. (it's not titled correctly in CA, so he makes that in Florida and gets the car to France later).
Conclusion:
1. It's possible to register aluminium cars "easily" with the right papers and Superformance/ERA is also possible, but much harder and "tricky"...
2. It's gonna be aluminium for me with a 427...
3. a new one is much too expensive for me, so I'm looking for a used Kirkham or Shelby, and
4. I also will check with Kirkham / UK
If someone knows about a nice aluminium Cobra...thanks for an information! She should be mechanically very good, not a trailer queen, I'm driving the cars!!
thank you for your help, Peter
