What to Check Before Buying.
Gardner Douglas builds bespoke kit cars, primarily Cobra replicas and sports cars assembled by individual owners or specialist builders. Each vehicle is unique, with quality and specification varying significantly depending on who built it and how well it was maintained. Buyers need to scrutinise build standards, component provenance, and maintenance records carefully. These are low-volume vehicles with limited parts support and highly individual histories.
