Rep Power: 9  | Announcing: RCR Australian Distributor I just wanted to introduce myself as the Australian Distributor for RCR.
I've always been impressed by the engineering and quality behind the RCR products. Fran is a true enthusiast and fantastic to deal with, so it will be a pleasure working with him. The RCR products offer a totally new generation of replicas to the Australian market.
We have 2 x RCR-40 MK1 built and ready for shipment to Australia. (These are not available for purchase)
One of the RCR-40's will be a demo vehicle so I can get familiar with the build process & compliance requirements.
We also have another 3 x RCR-40 MK1's already under construction. (Two of these are still available for purchase)
I will be supporting RCR's full product line and I am looking forward to bringing over some of the other vehicles soon.
I am currently working through the Australian compliance requirements and will provide every Australian customer with Chassis Beaming & Torsional Test results, Fibreglass Test results and ADR compliance information and checklist. My aim will be to provide a support network to assist and make full registration as simple and easy as possible.
Purchase price will be the same as that advertised on the RCR web site, plus shipping & delivery costs to Australia.
I hope to have a detailed web site up soon. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you require further information.
I am very excited to be involved with RCR and looking forward to distributing these great products in Australia.

Rep Power: 9  | Re: Announcing: RCR Australian Distributor Thanks Peter D. for the best wishes. Just too many choices.  I've always been a replica kind of guy, but Fran's Superlight Coupe has got me thinking in a different direction.
Looks like it is time to update my garage. |

Will be much easier going to QLD than the USA to see one of Frans cars.

Although with events like Run & Gun etc, there are always plenty of reasons to want to visit the US.  |

Rep Power: 9  | Re: Announcing: RCR Australian Distributor Thanks guys. Sandy, yeah that front clip should be familiar.
I'll be down at Shelby Festival this weekend, Friday & Saturday at Winton Raceway, Sunday at Wangaratta. Would be great to catch up with some of the Victorians here if they are in the vicinity. PM me if you need more details. |
