I  wouldnt deal with them just because they arent in US,,parts of Mexico are dangerous and they dont like gringos..

The parts I definitely worry about. The owner is from the Netherlands tho. I’m on a budget so looking to find a speedster that has some wear or work to be done. This seems appealing because it’s only about $22k for new to order.

There's another guy on facebox that imports Speedsters from MX.  One I saw came completely finished except for the chassis and running gear --- even carpeted which seemed strange.  I'll see if I can find his link.

There are still a lot of inexpensive FF/CMC out there that need some TLC.  I look for one of them.

Thanks Wolfgang. I have no issue doing work on a speedster with promise. I’ve been looking for a while and had no luck.

I would keep investigating the Mexican connection.  It is true that we don’t know of anyone on here that has bought a turn-key car from them, but a lot of that is because we only recommend buying from three or four builders and don’t have any experience  with Classic Cars Mexico.  

Yes, importing may have issues, so check with your state RMV before you commit to a build to make sure it’s register-able in your state.  

Of course, the best thing would be to visit the builder during the build and just before delivery to make sure there aren’t any “got’chas”, but that is up to you and what you feel comfortable with.  

Keep us posted on what you find.  We might all find a new builder!

I know of a CMC in Florida that needs some TLC.

Cold cold cold Michael.

Quick update. The price for a new completed is less than $23k and he is planning to make 5 a month. That’s, I mean wow. With most builders in the US saying 8-10 months that’s impressive. I’m trying to find someone that has bought one and get their experience. On the surface the owner seems responsive and polite. still no luck finding past buyers.

Thanks for checking this out, Anthony. We're interested in what you hear!

I agree. And that is my big concern.

Not always.

You don't always get what you pay for, but you always pay for what you get.

Always.

Do not confuse Classic Cars Mexico  company with Autos Classicos in Mexico " Rafael " and his company have been around fore a long time. I believe  Kevin Hines has traveled to Raul's Speedster business in Mexico. Their tops are made from a material called "Sonneland " it has some stretch to it. Their interiors are different too. Someone here on the OC resides ii Texas and has had dealings with Rafael.

Rafael's .. Face book other than that I have had no dealing with them..

Rafael Albiter is his name and he seems to be a straight up guy and I ‘ve seen some of his builds that range from basic to amazing; especially the coupes. I know he has a dealer in Texas.

Sounds like the 10/10 warranty plan. 10 feet or 10 seconds whichever comes first.
