A market for such a high priced Cobra? Obviously SAI thinks there is a market! I would agree with that also.

The AC/Shelby/English connection with these cars will be a powerful draw to some and I can understand that.

Personally I feel this is as close as anyone could possibly get to being "original" without a time machine. Made in England, shipped to the USA for final assembly by Shelby himself. Heck this car will be a time machine.

Makes sense that AC would have sub contracted some of the body work out, thus more than one set of "original" bucks around.

Fenders and doors won't interchange on the old Aston Martins, as they were hand built and no two were exactly the same. I wonder how the new Cobras will be done? Perhaps "perfection" is not "all that" after all?
