And as accurate as they might be, Goodwood will not allow them because they are considered "replicas"...

in fact a shelby 289 fia alubody csx 7000 continuation was officially invited to 74th goodwood members meeting this year, not as a clone of any of the 60th-originals like many kirkhams running at goodwood, but with its own VIN...

My Kirkham has a VIN.

They also allow SPF GT40 replicas/clones too. They're all replicas/clones, Shelby, Superformance and of course Kirkham.

Why? No one wants to blow up their multi-million dollar cars racing anymore, so they let replicas race. The Shelby FIA is a $150,000 car, so the driver/owner won't feel as bad if he or she crashes it.

funny with your VIN , but you didn't understand what i tried to explain...

many owners of original cars have an exact clone of their car, they are racing the clone with the same csx 2xxx number as their original have, that is another pair of shoes, for that you're right
in this case this cobra was invited to goodwood as a csx 7xxx, and not as a csx 2xxx substitute

this "$ 150,000" car was for sale asking factor 2,5 in summer

Actually, I did understand. That's why I posted the "" I was kidding around.

As for asking prices, well, you can ask whatever you want for your car. What you get is almost always quite different. Bottom line, alloy Shelby/Kirkham rollers are around $115,000. And small block engines and Toploaders are fairly reasonable, depending on how fast you want to go.

BTW, I'm asking $250,000 for my Kirkham.
