Hello from Ottawa, Ontario,
A colleague of mine, Louis, has just finished restoring his 1970 Mustang Mach 1 and is now thinking about building a car. He’s trying to decide between a GT40 and a Cobra replica.
I own a Superformance Cobra and am quite familiar with the different kit manufacturers and related government regulations, so I can certainly help him there. But I’m not as familiar with the GT40 kits which are available in Canada. I’ve done a quick bit of Internet research and hoped that some of you could provide some real-world guidance/tips.
I know Superformance currently produces the official continuation-series GT40s, but presume there is no way to import one of these at the moment. Probably best to forget about them, regrettably.
ERA Replicas makes a beautiful product, but has anyone been able to import one of their GT40 kits into Canada? I ask because I know their kits tend to be pretty complete and suspect this may be an issue with Transport Canada.
I see that both CAV Canada and Campbell Race (RCR) are offering what appear to be high-quality GT40 kits, and (I assume) handle the importation process for their customers. Does anyone have any hands-on experience with these companies? How do their kits compare?
Have I missed any other manufacturers in Canada?
Brian
