FFR "198" Roadster Announcement?
|
Darn nice looking car.
Ron :) |
beauty, every existing F5 just lost 1/2 it's value. Wunder if that body will fit the old frames?
|
Will the perky butt still be an option?

If that's the late Dick Smiths car body, wonder what FFR did about the track width. Isn't FFR too wide?

Looks like it still probably uses the base frame as the roll bar still has the FFR look. Are we sure this is the "198" replica or a new generation car?
Maybe they are finally using their Contemporary molds? http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...ry_Classic.JPG |
The body and proportions on that car look pretty flippin' good. If that is indeed FFR's replica of 198 and they decide to put it into production, that's significant news. I have always believed if FFR ever decides to pruduce a faithful, accurate bodied car it would turn the whole Cobra replica world on its ear.

The rollbar looks to be 1.5" instead of the standard FFR 2". Interesting.

Hmmm... the car in the OP doesn't really look like a Contemporary body shape, but it may be hard to tell for sure from that angle.

No.....:CRY: |
I can say no more due to a contractual obligation with "Da Bunnies" :eek:

Wow very cool to see. No exposed trunk hinges and smoother trunk line. I want one!

I have no doubt in my mind that this is the first of the Dick Smith commemorative cars. Dick Smiths #198 body was digitized by FFR then reproduced. The last I heard was that there would only be a small number of these commemorative cars built. After the run of commemorative cars are built it was still up in the air about which body to continue with, I sure hope they stick with the new body as this will definitely push FFR much higher in the replica pecking order.

Ok, maybe one more thing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMESE%3AIT |
An FFR with a perfect copy of the original, I think FFR has really put themselves over the top with this step.

Gonna feel bad for those guys in their garages though, sweating together an out dated kit with a couple more months or years to go... |
Jay,
There will be a select few who might be upset (as they have been with every manufacturer ;)and their updates and revisions), but in the long run they will be happy with what they are building. Why, simple, because they are experience the build of a dream from the ground (kit) up. My MK 3.1(currently in New England and working it's way back to me) is no less a replica because it does not have any of the newest upgrades(it has some, but those where before FFR offered them as a package), it's just an earlier version, as it was for my original MK I, MK 1.5, MK 2, MK2.5, MK III and all others that have come in between. :cool: Bill S. PS: Can't wait for my first MK IV, maybe later this year :D |
