Factory Five Hits the Books

[Mad Dog]

Coming this July, in time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the C-car, is Brian Smith’s new book Cobra Kit Cars: The Ultimate Guide for Building New and Buying Used Replicas. Brian Smith is the former editor of Kit Car Magazine and in April of 2010, he began building a Factory Five Mk4 to serve as the subject for his how-to book.

Brian built this Factory Five Mk4 with his dad.

Published by Car Tech, the book will be an SA Design Series Top Tier how-to book. 18 chapters, 177 pages, and 510 color photos makes this an excellent how-to guide for building a Factory Five replica.

Brian’s car will be at the 2012 Huntington Beach Cruise-In (http://www.factoryfive.com/whats-new/5th-annual-huntington-beach-cruise-in/) if you want to check it out and the book will be available in July.

The new Mk4 looks great from behind and the body style is extremely period correct.

Powering the car is Ford's 351W/427 stroker.
