Ever seen a Cobra from Bessia Motorsport?
I just discovered this company on another Cobra forum and thought I'd share it.
There's a
Cobra replica maker in Argentina named Bessia Motorsport , which produces 427 Cobra and GT40 replicas in a small factory at the Don Torcuato International Airport in Buenos Aires.
The company was founded by an ex-racer named Osvaldo Bessia, and apparently they've been building Cobras since 1992. Customers can choose from Ford 302 or 351W power for these, ummm,
distinctive-looking cars.
There's
one for sale right now in Boca Raton FL at asking price of $44,995 USD. The model is called a Biscayne Roadster.

Roll bar looks like a heavy diameter but no third member and it looks too low, it could be the photo angle but it looks like it sits lower than my 6' 1" frame.

Pretty sure this car is a Bessia Biscayne Roadster. Lola does a good job of making it look more appealing.
