The ad in Autoweek does not refer to the export AC cars as being Cobras. It is my understanding that AC is continuing to use their designation of MkII, MkIII, etc... on production cars. You can't get more Original than an AC. Because unless you are talking about one of the original AC Cobras from the 60's, then we all have replicas. AC is the only company that can continue production of what they, and they alone built in the first place. And, AC have built sporadically over the years since the 60's, under many different management groupd and holding companies. Don't forget the Ford/Autokraft years.

If Shelby's suit was a shot across the bow, then Jim Price has dealt a thundering blow to the mid-section. Will be interesting to see what happens next. The war is going to heat up soon when we see what Jim Price delivers next. We'll all have to wait and see.
