Hi – I’m a total Newbie to this forum and to Cobras …

I guess I’m a born again biker for the kit car ilk … having built a manta ray Beach Buggy back in late 70’s.



Just finished building my own house .. now have the time & need for a new for myself.

Surprisingly SWMBO is fully supportive of this – thinks it’s a good idea, even came back form shopping this week with current copies of KitCar and Which Kit car mags.



I have been looking for past couple of months ... and so far had found 2 manufacturers that seemed to stand out above the rest (to me anyway) this is Gardner Douglas & Sebring .... although I have been derided for not going for a Pilgrim SUMO.

I don’t really need or have desire to build a replica – what I want to build is a really good kit car, it’s just that the cobra seems to take my eye.

In fact the Sebring MXR seems to have all of the plus points of the Cobra plus moved the design on a little, losing overiders, adding extra lights etc.





I want to build something that oozes class, something I can obtain all the finishing touches for ... I am not trying to do a budget build, but I am also not looking to spend £50k.



Can anybody offer me any advice as to which kit I should focus on - don't get me wrong, I know no reason why ... but all part of the research before parting with a serious amount of money.

Any advice or emails welcome … feel free to give me +ve or –ve comments.Perhaps I just need to go and have a good look & test drive of both.



Are there any up * coming kit car shows I should consider going to ?
