Nick, I'm sure if it were possible to acquire the Contemporary molds and whatever else from FFR, someone would have done so by now. Or maybe not?
A splash off of an early original Contemporary body (or a later generation tweaked to undo Peter Bayers modifications
) could be done and the frame would be easy to duplicate.
EDIT: I think I remember reading a while back that Mr Bruce has already done a CCX splash.
If someone like yourself (well known/respected, and a CCX guru) ever decided to go into the business of producing "Continuation Contemporary Cobras" (one of the best known/most highly respected replicas ever); that venture to me would be far more likely to succeed than say, trying to manufacture and sell Cheetahs
Set up with as low an initial investment as possible as a supplement to an existing operation and with the expectation that it would be a low volume, build to order business, do you think it could work?
