In fact, I think it would probably be wrong to “restore” a genuine Cobra to this degree, because it would destroy much of what made it special. The accepted best practice is for much more sympathetic restorations these days...

Good point Paul.
A question for Ned and also Dan...is there a cut-off date for 289 cars for which mods from original spec. up to that date should remain with the car when it's subjected to restoration rather than taking the car back to its original ex-factory configuration (if I've explained that clearly enough)?
Cheers,
