Does that help relieve the angst? From reading the post, I thought you gave 'credit where credit`s due' nothing more or less!


.....And didn't Angliss continue the production until way into the 90's, while Shel' was swapping hearts for pete's sake?
I think a more accurate description would be commenced re-production, as He started off making spares & restoring cars for Cobra owners in the early-mid seventies, only graduating to AC licensed production of the mkIV in the 80`s.

.......Just a little more fair and balanced, aye? AYE!

What'saCobra has lived with real cars in the garage for over 40 years, loves the old chicken murderering farmer and hasn't forgetten nuttin'. You lucky lucky Sod!
