I've been working with the OP trying to get a CD of all the shots so I can send them over to Jeff B. the GT Registrar for SAAC......Great pictures, none of which have ever been posted in public before Bill S.

Scott, I can vouch for the Serpent Express built by Larry and his team. I have at least two dozen of my fellow Cobra owners who have them. Bill S.

Did you realize the car was being sold on Ebay back in April of this year and was not for sale by a forum member? ? ? Bill S.

Parts were all sourced locally in South Africa

On the sites I listed on your wanted thread there is a link to not only the build/assembly manual, but to the recall/upgrade manuals for the S1 Bill S.

Did you contact any of the SPF dealers listed there? Forget about sending an email, pick up the phone and speak with them live. Bill S.

CHECK HERE and HERE

How is the car titled?

This was the black S1 out of California for $13.500? I tried buying that car back in January at $18,000, he never called back, then he posted it here at what you bought it at and I missed it as I was on a plane.....:nopity: Great buy for you, and great ride regardless of the minor issues. :cooldude: Enjoy the ride. Bill S.

Martin, You really need to write up a detailed description of the car, as just bumping this every few weeks/months is doing your car a dis-service. Bill S.

Nice, now you have a tow vehicle for the "7" :smilielol5:

Have you ever watched the movie "Gumball Rally", imagine if you will the early morning scene where the race starts in Manhattan and winds it's way through the mid town. Now imagine if you will a certain Cobra replica owner reliving the scene of the "Bannon" team going through Times Square at 5/6am on a Sunday morning just as the sun rises.......I'm certain a 7 would elicit the same amount of post 9/11 attention that I did 10+ years ago:smilielol5: Bill S. jump ahead to 1:30 and watch the rest, keeping in mind this was filmed on site, and at actual speed

Rick, Douglassville here :flag: Bill S.

Dutton was a replica builder who built Lotus 7 replicas in the early 70's. Sorry, not familiar enough with them to help you on value. Bill S.

I'll confirm Ralph is one of the most down to earth people you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting in person. I remember when he first built his car and was at one of the first FFR open houses.......... Bill S.

Excellent news, we expect to see pictures of your excursions (with or without your wife :rofl:). Enjoy the ride(s). Bill S.

Nope, SB100 it is, and just as an FYI, the SB100 is fairly easy to accomplish these days with numbers still available as of last week. Bill S.

You need to move to Florida, you could have walked in with a bill of sale written on a napkin, and your insurance card on your smart phone and walked out with tags and a title already printed out......... Bill S.

Robin, Canadians can buy "vintage" kit cars, they must be 25 years old (documented and not just the year on the title) or older and can be imported quite easily. Bill S.

Well, at least you knew what your problem (besides consistency) was :jester: Bill S.

For several years PA DMV issued their SP Constr titles without a year, it should also include a state issued VIN with a VIN plate from the state of PA on the passenger side of the firewall, as you found out, this causes issues with many other states. Contact the PA DMV at 800-932-4600. You may have to send the title to them to have them reissue with a year (tell them the year you want on it)..... Bill S.

Three listed for sale HERE

Gary, Deb and I were wondering how you were making out, I lost the bet though as I told her you would be at least half way home by now. Wish you a safe trip, and hope your wife is talking to you again Bill S. PS: Pictures of the trip, don't forget to take and post pictures of the trip :hurray:

Mike, Having owned and/or built/rebuilt 17 FFR's (and brokered another 30+), I can tell you the company has an excellent reputation. Dave Smith (owner) is a down to earth real car guy with a stellar business reputation. The 818 project was a ground up, built from scratch idea that has taken it's sweet time to come to fruition. I've be staring at donor cars for quite some time for this one, waiting to see how my back issues pan out before I send my deposit.... Bill S. PS: If you ever get the chance to meet Dave Smith, ask him the following: "where is mrmustangs FFR 289FIA" (it's a semi inside joke between the two of us that spans 10+ years, countless open house pranks, and 1,000's of people such as yourself :rofl:).

Just had that happen to my sons 98 Subaru Outback. New "professionally" tires installed 65 miles prior to that. Took out the studs (1 snapped, the rest stripped), rim, and drivers fender........ Bill S.
