[Trevor Legate]

When I said this has been covered before I was being ironic (sorry, it's the downside of email) as I was expecting the usual boring tirade from one or two folk. The production of AC Cobra and the Shelby Cobra began in 1962; the last Shelby Cobra was CSX 3360 and the last car from the AC factory was built in 1968 despite not using the 'Cobra' trade name, but can be considered part of the production run. All cars from both Shelby and AC since that time (i.e. not made in the 1960s) are later variations on the original theme and you can call them what you will: continuations, recreations, replicas, revivals, regurgitations....
