I am a one year owner of a Unique after a 40 year plus dream. Interestingly I became a Cobra owner because of physical limitations. Purchased it already built and titled with 3K miles while recovering from a MC accident. Getting it leak free, bugs worked out, properly assembled and reliable was a lot of work. It took me a full year to be confident to go on a 5 state road trip. My wife and I truly enjoy the "outdoor" experience of the car. I see it in my garage for a long time.

Why do Cobra owners sell so fast? IMO many do not have the skills, time and patience to perform the massage these hand built cars need. Too expensive to take to a mechanic to have them track down the parts, always in the shop, always breaking down, always spending $250. The beautiful body is a PIA to live with and so out the door she goes.
