You'll never hear any complaints from an ERA owner. The car is great and so are the people who work there.

Ditto on the ERA. I looked at a LOT of kits and looked at the reputation as well as the resale value. The ease of build, the comprehensive assembly manual, the lack of need to weld and fabricate. This is one very well thought out car/cars.
I'm a boatbuilder by hobby, not a motorhead. My ERA replica went together very easily, and in the time they stated in the manual except when I didn't read directions. They are ALWAYS helpful on the phone for tech help and stop work to show you around the shop. They care! GREAT company, great people.

Their cars are great, just start restoring a 25' Hunter (sailboat) and it's (so far) taking longer than the 289FIA.

ERA is a top of the line replica and very well thought out. I researched for over 5 years on all different kits while saving money to purchase a replica. ERA came out on top. They went to Arizona and took templates, tons of pictures, and measurements of the only original FIA that was not wrecked and re bodied. The end result is truly a work of art.

In a conservation, Peter mentioned shipping some parts to a guy in Canada. If he doesn't know all the ins and outs of getting the car registered in Canada, may be he can put you in touch with his Canadain customer.
