An interesting read regarding recent history of the replica wars. I missed this earlier, seems AC Cars did speak up regarding cobra rights. The question I have is did this happen or is ongoing?
Meanwhile John Tojeiro has attached his name to a Cobra replica produced by the British Dax company and Carroll Shelby first started completing "leftover" 1966 Cobra 427 S/C models in 1989 and then introduced his own replica Cobra in 1995 (known as CSX 4000, named after the continuation of the original chassis numbers). Then some bickering started about who owned the rights to what regarding the Cobra, but ultimately the dust settled down and history repeats itself: starting from 2004 Shelby Automobiles will offer the Shelby AC Cobra CSX 1000 (meaning the new chassis numbers will precede the original CSX 2000 (Mk I & II) and CSX 3000 (Mk III) numbers), with chassis and body produced by AC in Britain using the original tools and then shipped over to be completed by Shelby in the US. A car conceived more than 50 years ago and still touching the hearts of car enthusiasts; the characteristics of a true classic.

The CSX1000 cars have also been discussed in a separate dedicated topic, but having seen three of them in person, they are without a doubt the most perfect looking Cobras you will ever see. The craftsmanship in the alloy body is simply flawless. I've never seen a fiberglass (or carbon fiber, mine) that didn't have some little flaw that would shouw up in just the right light, but those 1000 alloy cars. Wow. An owner pipes in here occasionally.

Some nice models, but many over the top with graphics and colors for my taste.

Off topic, yes......
Ahhhh. This is more fun than arguing over Cobra authenticity! I have two Pateks that I acquired in 1985 and 1992. The original Nautilus and the 3940 Perptual. No where's near the size or yours, Jamo , but beautiful non the less.

Yea, agree but I like some of the simpler models. Really want to get a square or rectangular face model.

Regardless of what opinions everyone has on the Real or Replica, CSX4206 is one freaking bad ass car! If I couldn't own a 427 built in 65-67, then an aluminum bodied CSX4000 would certainly be my next choice!!!! Awesome ride !!!!!

Isn't there a Breitling watch that sends out a an emergency beacon so the pieces of your body can be recovered after your plane crashes?

Yup...the Emergency. Pull that antenna out just to show your buddies and you'll have some assplaining to do when several layers of feds all show up.

Always love the sketch story. The best stuff always has a story. It's like these cars.
The Smiths (FFR) and the beginnings of the London show and the way everyone banded together regardless of what they drove just because their hearts said so.
Davey K. learning Polish and stepping off the business cliff during the post Cold War and building a better tin can.
CS begging for and receiving a V8 and shoving into a classic British sports car.
It's all good.
