I have been looking for a while now for an aluminum body for my FFR-MKIII. I went to a car show this weekend in West Palm Beach and between Ferraris, Lamborghini and Backdraft I found Alloycars with two aluminum cars which were on display at their booth.
I met two of the builders and the owner and what I have seen was astonishing. I noticed that they are using the same chassis as my Cobra which surprised me a lot. So I asked the owner if it is possible to swap my fiberglass body for their aluminum body. And his answer was "This is what we are here for".
After some small talk he invited me to visit their shop in Fort Lauderdale. I went home happy, knowing to be able to see their shop in the morning as it was not far from my home.
At home I googled Alloycars and this forum popped up with a lot of posts regarding the existence of this company. So I asked myself if those cars are fake and the company doesnt exist, who did I meet at the show?
And Man, you all are so wrong on here.
As soon I showed up at the shop it was just jaw dropping. The first building full of 550 Spyders in different building stages, the second building which was double the size as the first one and fully loaded with aluminum Cobra bodies and parts. I was just speachless.
No word can express what I have seen.
The owner explained to me they are awaiting a new shippent from Factory Five to get MKIV's which will be sold from the next month up but as I have a MKIII already I was only looking for a body. After we made an agreement with a price for my swap I will go forward for getting my dream aluminum body.
It is a shame that most of you forum members are talking bad about something you have never seen. Which is also taking out the opportunity for FFR owners like me to replace their fiberglass bodies.
I don't understand the comments about false photos and that those car are not theirs as I have seen them in person and good minded people do the same before they post inflammatory information on this forum.
In my opinion this Cobra forum should be objective and not so inflammatory. I don't see much posts for my own interest as I had to figure it out for myself, therefore this will be my first and last post here. [ATTACH]
