Tony,
If you wouldn't mind me asking im curious what you do for a living? Appears you have done well previously owning 2 Shelbys that have been sold...Which leads me to Question #2, why did you sell the cars and still very "Active" on the forum?
I don't mind sharing that i cut wood and bang nails for a living, Mostly remodel work just myself and a helper....I guess what im getting at here is that being self employed and basically a customer referral based business i have noticed finding myself giving my customers "Freebies" as you call them. When a customer spends 70K on a Kitchen remodel do you think im really going to charge them $20 for fixing a Lockset or Silly screen door? Its not expected of me to do so but its just a nice gesture that comes around full circle....Thats why im curious what you do for a living, don't feel pressured to answer i totally understand if you don't...im just being open.

very well said, I actually never implied I wanted or expected a "freebee" this was Tony's choice of words... I expected fully to pay for what Peter sent me...

I am also a contractor. (industrial electrical) and I agree 100%. if a customer spends $70k-100k or more on a project I would never charge them to return to move a conduit or something minor, it is called customer service.

I am still trying to figure out why Tony would say such asinine comments... maybe he was having a bad day...

Because that's what he does. He has a rather long history of doing that.

Another happy ERA owner.
When I purchased 2102 it had a 14" steering wheel and missing a top snap. For a very reasonable price, Peter had a new 15" wheel and two snaps shipped here in SF in less than a week.

Tommy, good luck with your search for a 289FIA, you'll be very happy with your decision. Let me know if you have any questions.

I can only confirm the assessment of Peter, Bob, Doug and thus the entire ERA team:
It started in 2005 with a factory tour for my wife and me, where everyone took care of us and with plenty of time (for the visitors from far away Germany) they showed us the entire production - to be finalised with a test drive. The whole package was decisive for me to own #2081 since then.
Over the past years, communication and delivery of spare parts to Germany has been fast and hassle-free. Even free advice on electrical questions (e.g. approval of a modified wiring diagram based on the original Lucas indicator relay DB10 in connection with a German warning light switch) is part of their outstanding service.
Doubtless, I would do it a second time without hesitation.

Best regards,
Matthias

Ehhhh, I don't know... Peter could have just given me my car instead of making me pay for it.
