Description
Collectors and investors should keep in mind the following: When it comes to the Shelby Cobra (replica), the conformity of the French registration certificate (carte grise) with what the vehicle actually is (manufacturer, year, model, engine) is paramount to secure your purchase. French legislation (FFVE) is very strict regarding replicas: a replica in order to receive a registration certificate (Collection) in France must be over 30 years old (manufacture date), must no longer be in production, and must be in its original condition. By applying this rule imposed since 2014 by the French government and FFVE, very, very few replicas are admissible in France. A savvy buyer should therefore question the true legality of Cobras with registration documents dated 1965 or 1966... 67 (unless this Cobra costs 2 million and is therefore a genuine original Shelby Cobra). Likewise if a Cobra from a modern replica brand that began production in 1995 or 2000 is for sale with a registration dated 1974, 1982 or 1986... these modern Cobra replicas are to be avoided as their registrations are fraudulent. Generally, Cobra replicas on normal registration certificates are to be avoided; because in 99% of cases a replica does not have European or French conformity certificates (except fake ones) ... and therefore must be the subject of an Isolated Title Reception (RTI) with the French Mines service (UTAC & DREAL).... but the latter do not issue them. This is why it is almost certain that a Cobra on a normal registration has counterfeit papers. Note that the French government recently launched a fraud-avoidance campaign against counterfeit registration certificates. Cancellations of registrations as well as heavy penalties are currently occurring. READ ABSOLUTELY on our website our section 'LA PRESSE EN PARLE' and you will understand the dangers of buying a replica anywhere. Bourgogne Auto Classic is the French leader in COBRAS, as we exclusively sell and homologate replica collector registrations of the famous Shelby (Cobra and GT40). The Cobra we are offering here is a genuine collectible vehicle that will be sold with its FFVE collection status and its French technical inspection. This 1992 Cobra was produced by the prestigious American manufacturer UNIQUE Motorcars, the only brand capable of rivaling ERA replicas in quality. Its high-end Ford V8 engine is in near-new condition. It has been assembled with care and high-performance or competition parts: Power 450hp. Its red FAM finish (Ferrari *** is Mine) playfully commemorates Shelby/ Ford’s triple victory over Ferrari at Le Mans 1966. Our FAM Cobra even comes with its FAM wing badges to be even more authentic and to play Steve McQueen who drove a FA Cobra.
