autoevolution Put Two Factory Fives on 5 Awesome Replicas List

Vlad Radu, contributor writer for autoevolution.com, recently posted an article highlighting five kit cars that make owning and driving a classic car possible. Oh yeah, and the best part is, you can build them! Two of the cars Vlad features in his list are the Factory Five Mk4 Roadster and Type 65 Coupe!

“It is currently one of the most desirable racing cars in the world and one of the six examples ever built, demanding well over the $7 million mark,” Vlad wrote about the original Daytona Coupe. “However, Wareham, Massachusetts-based Factory Five Racing gives fans of this iconic car the opportunity to own and build the next best thing for a fraction of the money.”

“One of the most impressive replicas is the MK4 Roadster kit car developed by Factory Five. Like the Daytona Replica we explored earlier, the MK4 Roadster kit is based on the Cobra’s original blueprints, combined with comprehensive improvements and modern materials.”

The other cars Vlad included on this list are the RCR 40 MkI and MkII GT40 replica, RCR D-Type, and LB Specialists Cars STR. Click here to read the full article.
