Default Polished alloy bodied Cobras...hmmmm

Here in the UK we don't see many polished alloy bodied Cobras. Naturally that's because most are glass fibre replicas. But I saw a Kirkham at a speed festival the other day and wondered what message the car was sending out....
I mean most of us would probably prefer an original 1960s Cobra if we had the choice, but I bet we wouldn't strip the paint and polish that. Despite that, a good alloy bodied Cobra is by concensus more desirable/authentic than composite, but as for telling the world that yours is a few degrees closer to the real thing, but obviously not the real thing, what exactly is all that about?
