I believe my MKIV may be the best and most complete on the market. At least i tried to make it the best when I built it. I say I built it but with tongue in cheek. Mark Dougherty and Wayne Pressley did the real work. I am posting the build list and will try to post pics when I get home this evening. Not great at pics but will do my best.
Factory Five Mk IV Cobra

Began Build in 2014 and finished October of 2015
4500 miles in a few days.
I built this car with the best components I could find.
Car:

Weather-Pack electrical connectors used throughout. Car totally wired by Mark Dougherty who installed engine transmission etc. Started up under his guidance.

Breeze rear view mirrors. http://www.breezeautomotive.com/details.php?prod_id=757#
All hydraulic fittings are Aeroquip or other high quality from Summit.
Triple hydraulic reservoir for front rear brakes and clutch from CNC.
Paint is Lexus Dark Blue Mica Pearl Metallic/Indigo Ink with white stripes. Professional paint by Wayne Pressley who mounted body and did all finish work.
Car was built by me with a “lot” of help and work by Mark Dougherty. So most of credit to Mark and Wayne.
Just about 4600 miles. No racing or autocrossing. Driven by a 72 year old. Starts in an instant.
Hands off driving at cruising (65).
Live in the deep South so mostly only gets used in the milder, not hot, months so it does not get used like it should.
There is nothing I would do differently with the exception of the door pocket which are velcroed and don’t really stay put. The rest was as good as I could make it. Stored in my climate-controlled garage Oil Mobil 1 and changed professionally.
I do not know of a more complete FFR MK IV available which was professionally built.
$48,500.

Is This Henry From Pass Christian?

Let me know when I can see the car because I've got a tall friend, who doesn't have time to build a car, that may be interested.

Could we meet over at The Blind Tiger or North Beach Food & Spirits over in Bay St. Louis this weekend if the weather and time permits?
