Definitey good quality, no doubt there.

None of the manuals are much good honestly. I haven't see Warrick's for years, but expect it will be similar to the CR manual.

If you were up here it would be a no brainer, Warrick just provides so much assistance to builders, so much club involvement, just so many Harrisons up here, that it just blows the competition away. That's why I expect there are no CR's being built in the club up here.

This forum has a very heavy CR participation. So that certainly helps if you decide to build a CR.

Don't forget other players like RMC, DRB etc. DRB are still the largest Cobra manufacturer. And our first Cobra was DRB and it served us well. Bought from Harrison when he was a DRB dealer. One of big reasons for going DRB at that time was Harrison involvement.

Definitely take your time on deciding which way to go, as your stuck with your decision for a very long time...

Can I throw in another vote for CR.
I will admit though that your best plan of attack is to list what is important to you in a car.
By that I mean, do you want IRS, do you want a body that isnt bonded to the chassis, do you want the deep dished wheels (a definate no with CR, unless you talk to Mando).
List all the things that are relevant to you, including the help you feel you may need along the way - how easy is it to ask questions and be confident you will get the right answer.
Weigh everything up and go from there.
In my personal case if the Harrison body wasnt bonded I would be building one of his cars.
