He didnt import it but Im not going into detail here. Though it did nearly get sent back to the good Ole USofA due to the car being purchased and on the water before pre-import approval had been approved. Was a right on the cusp of how things used to work and the crackdown but its still in its own right completely legit and legal.
I'll say it again, take your time, talk to clubs and cobra meets and do your research quietly and people will assist. The guy who bought Stefs latest car chased it for over a year.... it wont be sold again for quite a while.

Yes I had spoken to Dimis about this fellow before. Didn't realise it was the same guy. Both cars are lovely. I didnt realise we even have such authentic cars in Oz. I haven't seen any this good in terms of authenticity yet in Victoria or at at least the car shows I rock up at where Cobra's are present. It gives me greater hope thnat I may yet be able to find a ready built one to my liking when I am ready with cash in hand to buy.
That blue one I would have bought in a heartbeat, even being a LHD I dont think would have stopped me

Also learned something new again today. All about 'The Contemporary Classic Motor Company' who I had never heard of until now. What great cars they had made. Esp[ecially for the purist nuts like me
