Yep. I would not call it much of a business though. It generates enough profit to go to Goodwood or Monterey and buy a few race books, but that is about it.
Replica Cobras have no history (that I am interested in) - models of a Cobra at a specific race at a specific point in time are as close as I am going to get to the real thing. To me it is almost like having a 3 dimensional photo. I have even managed to duplicate the SW on the Smiths instruments (which are about 3mm tall) - and you can read it if you have a loupe.
The fun part is that my anal-ness carries over into that sort of detail as well, and I have been involved in the restorations of a few cars - including a Ferrari whose chassis number I am not allowed to mention (but that was a Scuderia Serenissima team car  ).
