Default Backdraft Racing in Australia?

Brand NEW Backdraft Racing Shelby Cobra Turn KEY Minus in Wanneroo, WA | eBay

60k for a turn key minus seems like good value if this is the real deal.

Anyone know who this is?

I've been admiring cars on their FB page for a while now. 60k for a RHD turnkey minus driveline, not bad providing it complies with local testing requirements.

See in the first pic it's right hand drive? But they have just mirrored the image - the gas cap is on the wrong side. Obviously they have no complete RHD car.

No but it says "We have a select number of these vehicles available so be quick to reserve your position."

Wow, these have come down in price. I was quoted 90k for turnkey minus and 125k for turnkey on 24/11/2012. At the time they had claimed compliance for the cars and had one on the road. I am assuming it to be the same people, they went under the name of Backdraft Racing Australia and were from W.A. as well.

Left hand drive to right hand drive no big deal, plenty of other kit cars have been sold that haven't even been registered at least these guys would have a comprehensive complete car I'm sure they've done a few and don't have to employ test mules.

Just an interesting tidbit, the contact mobile number for the BDR is the same as the mobile number for Factory Five (Component Cars) Chris Canning. The original guy for BDR Australia was Kevin Wolfe.
