Scaramanga,
Don't you just hate it when people don't answer your question and offer advice on a topic you didn't ask about? Me too, but here goes anyway.

I get the impression you are looking for a Cobra daily driver. Your best hint at how that will turn out is to think of your 60s-70s era British cars as daily drivers. Like those cars, Cobra replicas generally have little to none of the low maintenance reliability and SAFETY of modern cars. If you are willing to tolerate that, then please continue. But don't think you are getting the best of old and new. You are getting a slightly modern interpretation of a 1960s race car.

Regarding the brands you mentioned, I have one bit of advice. If you don't plan on doing your own maintenance, pick the brand that has a reputable service shop nearest to your home. You'll be seeing them frequently.
