Does anyone know what happened to the LHD half fibreglass/aluminium 427 that was for sale in Marrickville in Sydney a while back.
I think the guy was asking $500K,it was silver .
Ray sold his Kirkham in 08ish from memory to someone in Sydney.

We just need some smart Cobra manufacturer here in Australia to realise that and they would have a damn good business..

I think you'll find a number of local kit manufacturers are none too happy about the number of American kits being imported as parts or complete cars. Every imported car is one less kit to be manufactured locally and organising a roadworthy for a 90 day permit is hardly a "value add" proposition for them.

I sounds like he is trying to sell the owner another
Can't blame him for trying

It would be nice to have that kind of money lying around.

Lol,

Ray must be thinking that he found a sucker!

Is that the same dealer trying to sell again or is it the guy that got ripped off?

I heard that car is in a Ferrari dealership in Sydney.

I'm sure they'll find someone with too much money and with no freakin' idea.......again.

So a simple question, what used cobra could you import from the states, left or right drive to get full rego in aus and compliant, is it just that they have to be over 30 years old. where do these shelby continuation cars fit in. tomcat
