He could do it twice as quick if you did the same and gave him a hand! :thumb:

I would offer a hand but that means getting my riot gear on to go Stoke-on-Trent

Re: 8 hours to build a Cobra?

Ford based Pilgrims take me approx 80 hours obviously not inc paint and SVA time.

Jag based kits approx 100 hrs as more refinements to the suplied parts are required.

Will let you know how long the AK takes to build once I start it

your site claims "all on 06 plates and built from brand new parts" so does this mean that the diff and running gear etc. are all brand new?

Re: 8 hours to build a Cobra?

Thanks for the comments Tinka. Not going into production of AK's just yet although I am building one for myself over the coming months.

Sorry if the website is mis leading, your correct in saying they will be on 06 plates however the running gear will be all new/reconditioned supplied by ward engineering. This is as new as can be supplied and what many manufacturers use when they obtain 06 plates.

Website needs updating and clarifying as the special price cars have now been snapped up.

Re: 8 hours to build a Cobra?

You say your site needs updating, but to be fair, you have stated from the outset that your cars are built from all new parts when in fact thats not the case, and you have had months to remove anything on the site that was misleading or should not be there.

It is true some builders do get new registrations for their builds, and the law allows for some reused parts to be used, but advertising a car as being produced from all new parts when in fact its not is another matter entirely.

If indeed you have sold the three cars in your offer as you claim, then all of those cars have been sold on a fraudulent basis and if any of your customers had the intent, they could sue you through the courts, probably taking your business with them along the way.

If you want to be taken seriously in this industry you have to be whiter than white!
I have heard that you make good quality cars, but you are doing yourself no favours with your continued naive approach to advertising and trading standards.
