well, I have called immediately the company, but they seems just importers of brazilian Cobra

WEBSITE

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gifand i suspect this one can be also very very expensive (even thinking they mean sell complete finished cars, all with 302s).
They also add real magnesium wheels...

Think I still will found my own way...founding cars in UK, and if I really come crazy...importing theme fro USA (that is the main problem in looking my cars...cause from extra UE countries I have to add always the 50-60% in taxes..)

wait me UK....i will be back there with my trailer and some extra GBP /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Buon Giorno Paulo,
Don't know much about these guys, but I can say that I think the best bang for the buck is the Factory Five roadster. I have built two FFR cars, the second of which is my avitar shot. They have decent chassis and can be built fairly inexpensively if you choose. However, note it is difficult to achieve an extremely high fit and finish standard with their cars. The key advantage is that they utilize the Mustang running gear, which can be found fairly inexpensively. So, they make a great first build car.

Tuo amico,
Rob

eheh Ciao Rob,
Unfortunately for me is almost too expensive to buy extra EU cars (I found many many nice cobras for sale..in Usa.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif) and also honestly I dont apply so much in Cobraforum, being my main interest over the 40s. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Only for a while I had the hope someone else other me and some few of my friends was going to keep and assembly here some foreign kits.
I know many Uk kits are assembled in Italy, by private garages (seems it is not so hard..if kits are compared to modern cars..and the quality is surely better, cause handmade).

..seems anyway replica cars remains an Uk zone..and maybe is better this way.
