You may not like it, but the fact remains your kit car replica does not equal a CSX in the eyes of SAAC, nor should it. If that bothers you then you should have bought a CSX.
I ask this question again, I have read a couple more articles on them. AC Cars LTD has sold/ leased / licensed the rights to the name plus intellectual property. So the new company is called AC Heritage and they are making continuation Cobras. I guess they have revived the COB 4XXXX serial numbering system and they made a deal with GM for LS-7 engines. So they also have a "Direct Line of Lineage" from AC (Like the company who bought the right to the INDIAN motorcycle ) . So are these on the same level as the continuation CSX series cars.
