John - that's the one. The hedges/shrubs in the background are a giveaway for all of the cars that Randy sells. Seems to be their favorite photo location!

Clois - I like it and I want to buy it. I wish it was that easy! The reason I need documentation though, is because the Australian Government will only allow Cobra replicas to be imported if they were first registered prior to 1989. The body style / year the car represents is irrelevant, as is the year on the Title. Without proof of age, I simply cannot import the car. The car is a 1979 Arntz, but the registration paper that comes with the car lists it's first year of registration (the Value-Code/Year section on the form) as 1992. I'm sure it will have been first registered earlier than this, but without proof I can't buy it.

It's very frustrating, because I had agreed a price with Randy on the understanding that he had watertight documentation to verify it as a 1979 car. It wasn't until he sent me a copy of the registration receipt that the gap became apparent. I have no issue with Randy, and he's probably amazed that Aussies have to jump through so many hoops to import a car.

The hunt for William or Roger continues. It seems the car has lived within 20 minutes of Lynnwood for at least 10 years, so I'd hoped it might have been known to anyone living in the area. Fingers crossed!

Thanks,

Craig
