I think Vintage is the only Cobra maker that shows High Def videos of their new build cars on the road and it is exciting to see and hear the noises these cars make.
Most of the manuf. you describe in your first post are either barely existent (JBL, really? How many cars have they built in the last 10 years?) or prefer to stay 'exclusive' and maintain a tiny yearly output. FFR probably sells as many as they can build and has stretched out into other markets as well. Plus with the 21 jiggawatts of FFRs out there it's not like they need a website to sell their product. When I got interested I had my choice of locals cars to see, ride and even drive before I ordered one.
Insurance and regulation is going to kill this hobby long before a lack of interest in the Cobra itself.
