Click on it and you will see a good picture of EXP001. It sure looks like the car that you describe in your brochure.
Yes - that looks to be the same car in the 1980s literature. I don't think I realized at the time I ordered that material that ERA was so new in the Cobra replica market. But I think I had already read some magazine articles that were very positive about the car. Who knows - maybe Peter and Bob were changing the paint on Car #1 every few weeks like Caroll Shelby - trying to give the impression they had more cars on the road than they really did.

By the way, I enjoyed reading your history on car no. 2.
