Replica or a modern reproduction?

[REAL 1]

After you are finished reading the self seving analysis offered here you will find the correct answers in the current SAAC Registry of Cobras & GT40s. Your car is correctly defined as a replica/kit car by SAAC. It is not Cobra but a replica of one. It's all in the SAAC Registry. No better source for authoritative information.

I resent that remark, nothing self serving in my comment. All tongue and cheek here.

I think that everyone wants to answer the public without them walking away, and muttering, bugger it's not real. If you say kit car, they think it came out of a cornflakes box and glued together like a scale model. If you say, Is a v8 supercar a real commodore or ford? no its a replica with a worked engine and a body wrapped around a race car, to look like a street car. Without wanting to upset real1, they were all replicas of a English built ace and fully worked to be a race car. They were put together with different bits and pieces from the start. I'm just proud to own one, and that's all that matters to me.

Gee, let me be the first to apologize. Couldn't see your tounge in your cheek.

Can you see mine?

Btw I resented your remark in post 14. Whether it was self serving or not it's factually incorrect and clearly a shot at what you don't own.

Btw, price is totally irrelevant to the answer to the question.

It's all in the Resgistry. Read and learn. The op asked for the "right" answer to give. Not some contorted bs that contains a shot at something your clearly don't own.

What the H are you talking about?

First off you said, "it's factually incorrect" EXACTLY! And contorted, that's the point.

I would love to own a Shelby. All though I'd take a Kirkham first. Your over thinking my post a bit, lay off the caffeine! lol

You also said, "The op asked for the "right" answer to give. Not some contorted bs that contains a shot at something your clearly don't own."

Notice the OP replied to me in post 17, "Haha lol"
That's between me and the OP, not a self appointed board monitor.

I guess the OP liked my contorted BS answer. And by now you've seen many others give BS contorted answers to the old question. We all know the situation, we've all experienced the, "what is it?" So you going after the other 40 or so posters?

As I said earlier, this is just so silly.

Mine is a Factory 5 Mk4. You can elaborate by explaining that it is a well thought out component car much like the originals were but without the $1,000,000.00 price tag.

Incorrect. Do some homework.
