Waiting for Cobra's to import to Canada

[bobbybeige]

The reason I am curious as to when more cars might be available is that I have something pretty specific in mind for what I want. Having scattered choices here & there doesn't bode well for a buyer. I'd rather wait for the right car to come along.

Bobby, I actually know of two Superformance Cobras in B.C. that are for sale right now. Rick also has a Superformance Cobra for sale that is eligible to import legally. This is one of the high-end brands you said you were interested in.

ERA Replicas is another high-end brand that you could consider. They started building Cobras in 1983 or so.

I believe some of the very earliest Kirkhams and CSX4000s might be eligible to import, provided the seller can document the car's age which is the million dollar question.

Why don't you describe your dream Cobra so we all know what it is you're looking for.

The problem you are going to find with importing a Cobra replica into Canada is that they require proof of when the car was first registered. When it was manufactured by the maker does not matter. Was manufactured 15 years ago but not finished and registered for 4 years and can't be imported to Canada. So your question about when manufacturers' starting making significant numbers of cars is only part of your answer.
