I agree that the Kirkham is a great car, I would love to own one, I just think it is wrong to call it a real Cobra.
If I was to put my Kobra on club plates in the NT, I could stamp the chassis number CSXwhatever,I,Want That does not make it a real Cobra.

boxhead,
Dont get the words Genuine or original confused.
Ive never refered to my cars as original or genuine. If something is 100% replicated of the original, of course its a real Cobra.
I also own a glass car, an Arntz for almost 25 years, i dont refer to it as a real cobra as its comprimised.
Im no bigger or better than any other Cobra owner, my original reference was that my car is as exactly as an original. A real Cobra!!
Keep smiling...
Soul.
