Announcement - South Africa CSX4000 Cars

[brentfenimore]

All,

I am sorry for the delay in getting a posting out, we have been in the process of moving the entire Cobra operation into the new facility and I have not had much spare time.

Let me start by saying that I will do my best to answer questions pertaining to the import Cobra vehicles, however I am not here to defend SAI or Carroll Shelby because the record speaks for itself. Over the course of the last 6 1/2 years we have taken orders and deposits on aprox 410 Cobra component vehicles and to this date have not left anyone standing out in the cold without the product they contracted for. This is not to say that we have not run into issues that had to be worked through on some occassions but we have never screwed any customer out of their deposit.

CSX4750 which is slated as the sample vehicle has left the manufacturing plant and is on it's way to the airport to be transported to the Las Vegas facility. This is actually the second vehicle to be completed at the South African facility, the first being the mule that was used for development and testing purposes and slated to remain in SA indefinately.

As far as pictures of the completed vehicles, work in process and the assembly facility we do prefer for the product to speak for itself after it's arrival on the 15th. We have plenty of orders in process and do not feel we need to push for more contracts and deposits through the use of media that would most likely lead to other unjust alligations.

We are producing CSX4000 component vehicles in South Africa through a joint venture with a reputable partner. Neither I nor Carroll Shelby have any reason what-so-ever to believe this venture will be anything less than a long and fruitful relationship that will benefit SAI as well as Cobra lovers world wide.
