So who produces the kits to create a Cobra replica? There are a few companies that do this and research shows me some are better at it that others. It's early days yet but a list of a few is below:
AK Sportscars AK 427 - http://www.aksportscars.com/
Crendon Replicas CR 427 - http://www.crendonreplicas.com/
DJ Sportscars Dax Tojeiro - http://www.daxcars.co.uk/en-gb/home/default.aspx
Gardner Douglas GD 427 - http://www.gdcars.com/
Hawk Cars Hawk 289 - http://www.hawkcars.co.uk/
Madgwick Cars SR V8 - http://www.madgwickcars.co.uk/
Pilgrim Cars UK Ltd Sumo - http://www.pilgrimcars.com/
Research to date leads me to believe Pilgrim are the cheapest and are considered good in their own right but Dax, AK and GD are at the better end of the scale (and their costs are more as you would expect). Crendon are also good and are more true to the original design.
Each model is slightly different and the advice is to look at plenty, visit the factories and carefully consider which one is the right one for your needs.
Also whilst searching for kitcar companies I came across this link

It has a long list and many dead links but you may find it useful.
