Someone recently said to me about the new Shelbys being built today - "it IS a genuine Shelby, but not an ORIGINAL Shelby". I think the same wording applies to this car. It is a genuine AC 289 Cobra, but not an "original" AC 289 Cobra. I don't think it's fair to sell this car advertised as an original, because it's not. Original implies it's a 60s car, and it's not. But it is a real genuine AC. So I think the selling title should no read original, but something like "Real AC 289 FIA" or "Genuine AC 289". Just my 2 cents.
