A DRB (rego sticker said Robnell but it was definately a DRB b/c of looks and confirmed in the description) just sold at Shannon's winter auction in Melb for $36k. IMO it was tired looking and more attention to detail, especially with the interior, could have been better. Still, it had rego and was ready to go and a few k here and there would make a big difference.
There are other issues to to think out 2nd hand. I have set up the driving position to the best compromise I could achieve. People often forget about this as the builder will naturally find the best driving position available given the lack of real estate in the cabin of a cobra. If the builder was 5' 8" and you're say 6' then I would make sure you actually fit in the seat. Go back several times and check it out as every time you go back, the polish isn't as shiny as before and the faults of the car will start to peep through. Pedal position, windscreen rake, seat position & height, steering column position and height all need to be checked against a comfortable driving position.
Hope that helps.
