Interestingly I had my bare aluminium Kirkham parked next to a real 1966 Cobra and time after time car show enthusiast were heard to say - "that aluminium one is real"
So who are we kidding...
An early CSX numbered car is like stock shares. At some stage they will be worth less and sometimes worth more than you paid.
I have brought new recent stocks at a cheap price. Perhaps like a "Continuation" car they may go up.
In the interim I will just go out and drive my REAL and GENUINE Cobra....
Others lucky or unlucky enough to own genuine Cobras knowing they may possibly hold their price are able to say with enthusiasm - "this is a real Cobra"...
Only they care I guess.
