STANDARD 289FIA KIT ($23,900) PARTS LIST

Unfortunately, in the kit car industry there are no "standard assemblies".  Each company has its own approach to components that they include, so a careful comparison of each kit is required.  E.R.A. includes many, many of the small components that you won't think about until you find that you lack them in other kits!

Take a visual tour of a standard kit, ready to ship!

Compare our components (and whether they are factory-installed) with the competition! There is no fabrication or fitting involved when you build an ERA, only straightforward installation. As delivered, the basic kit looks like a real car, but with the suspension and interior in boxes.

If you've built a kit car before, you know that the small details are the most time consuming (and frustrating) part of construction. Those details are where ERA shines. Please, compare our car with our competitors! We are confident that you will find that an E.R.A. replica is, at the bottom line, a bargain in ease of construction and quality of the final product.

Almost all fasteners are included in the standard kit. This will save you lots of time.
