Hi Leeroy,

Replica Motor Company (RMC) has been around since somewhere in the mid 80's and in its day, was one of the 'better' kits available. There has been a lot of evolution in Cobra kits since then, but they are still considered a good kit even by today's standard.

They use a typical ladder style chassis with the earlier using a single perimeter chassis rail and the latter from early 90's using a twin perimeter chassis rail for better chassis stiffness. They used Jag front and rear suspension components mounted to points built into the chassis rather than the whole cross member and cradle sections from the Jag, 2 coil over shocks up front and 4 at rear. Many have experimented with reconfiguring the rear set up to use just 2 shocks or mount the brakes outboard. Cleveland power seemed to be the most common. This chassis and the Clevo's make them a bit more lush than the average cobra - about 1200 to 1250kg.

This same basic ladder chassis was common then and also used by G-Force, Classic Glass Cars, W.E. Sports Cars(Wooley/Evans) to name a few.

Body shape is good, but like most - not spot on, a bit droopy in the rear like the G-Force.

The company was started by motorsport enthusiast Mike Moylan, in Kellerberrin, country WA, who's main business is grain silo manufacturing. The company lulled for a fair few years but I believe is now in new hands is fairly active and located at 3/14 Fargo Way Welshpool, suburban Perth. Try them on 08 9356 1415. Is this the No. you've been trying?

They are a well designed, basic honest car, just missing some of today's evolution refinements.
