Jason,
Your thread strikes a couple of chords with me.

I had been (and still am) a big fan of ERA Cobra replicas, and a few years back I placed a deposit for a 289FIA with Peter. I needed a RHD car (I'm in Australia), which the ERA website said they could do, but after repeated phone calls and letters and promises and no quote (and an elapsed seven months), I pulled the pin and got my deposit back.

That led me to start talking with a local Cobra replica maker (AP, aka Absolute Pace); they were keen to add the 289FIA to their list, and now we are well down the track with my car, AP2289, which (I think) is the first FIA replica to be built in Australia. At the time, AP suggested that another option for me could be to modify a 289 roadster body to create a replica of the early Comp 289 cars, complete with the flares and 'kidney bean' wheels, so that might be an option for you.....and the exchange rate is favorable.

My point is that if you really want to do a particular replica, then don't settle for something else. Ask around....it might cost you a little more, but it will probably be worth it in the end.

Cheers,
Glen
