I'm sad to say that this sentiment has been expressed by a few Pace buyers.

I don't know how to reply to you other than to say that Craig (and Pace) seems to have been a victim of his own success. From what I have seen of the Pace cars, they have the ability to be among the world's best, but there seems to be a definite problem with supply and keeping up with demand.

It's easy for me, I suppose, to sit on the sidelines and say just hang in there and as soon as this initial hectic pace at the factory slows down a little, your car/parts/information will flow through to you. Part of the problem of course is that Craig absolutely refuses to compromise on quality and he insists that every car that goes out the door is as perfect as it can be. But it's disturbing that this delay issue has been raised a sufficient number of times as to cause disquiet among prospective buyers.

For a start I'd be recommending that you do not "sell everything". It must be terribly disappointing that when you've made the decision and you're keen to get on with the exciting part of building the car, that you're being frustrated by lack of supply. You have chosen what many believe will become one of the most highly regarded Cobra recreations in this country and perhaps eventually internationally, but yes, this delay is a worry, no doubt.

There are a growing number of Pace builds under way at present. Have a look at the other build threads and perhaps send a PM (just click on the person's name and the PM prompt is in the drop down box) to the owners to see how they're going and also seek advice from them. Sort of like a support group for all you hardy Pace pioneers!

Craig is a good bloke and I know he must be feeling awfully frustrated that he's having trouble keeping up. I hope that in the years ahead everyone who has built a Pace car will be able to look back on all this and know that the wait was definitely worth it.
