What I would like to see is as many of us as possible agreeing on a new term for those of us whose cars are not true replicas to use. I am starting a list on here and once enough suggestions have been made I will create a /Pol with those suggestions and we can vote - once the numbers are in I suggest we all start using the most popular name where relevant in all our threads or conversation with the public and possibly create relevant badging so it might become common usage and mean something to the public and potential buyers.

My Suggestions so far are:

Cobra Tipo
Cobra Tipo V8 (+Engine Capacity)
Cobra Type
Cobra Evolution
Cobra Evoque
Cobra Inspiration
Cobra Inspired
Cobra Xerox
Kit Cobra

Feel free to add names to the list

Anyone looking at replicas with a passing interest in cars will know it's something like a Cobra if not one. I don't see the need to even make Cobra part of the name, we all know what it is.

ret·ro

You can even replace Retro Roadster with Retro Replica or Retro Reproduction, they all work imo.
