Hi,

What is the general verdict on this car. ( www.factoryfive.com ) Am thinking about a new project and this one keeps coming back in my mind.

Few problems; I normally don't like muscle cars. I was planning on a BEC because I like the lightweight principle. Still somehow this one makes me drool...
Then I need to save a bit more before starting something like this.

Last time I had to sell my first seven in order to finance my second one. Missed taking it out for a spin for two years. I promised myself to next time only sell the car when a new is finished. Should I break this rule? With the prospect of family life coming closer I figure it will take some time before I can manage two financially.

Anybody any experience with these guys? And the car? Quality, Will it pass SVA or does it need a lot of modifcations? etc.

Rgrds,

Mies.

i have a friend from america he and his father were building a cobra from factory five, they apparently are a much more together car than the original.

the super car they do also is very tasty looking but id go with the type 65 coupe it looks so good

Hi Goodall,

Sorry for my english but what does a more together car mean?

better handling, better brakes, ete... and most of all safer

My understanding here (Canada) is if you want a Cobra you have picked the right company. Their Daytona is very nice as well.

I need to stop looking at that type 65 coupe

The addage 'You can live in a car, but cant drive a house' seems to be making more and more sense the more I look at it
