Just read through this thread with interest.
Notice from one of the signatures that you guys appear to get asked 'Is it a kit?'
Made me chuckle as a lot of kit owners (me included) get asked
'Is it a real one!!'
Great cars, interesting history, and probably the greatest compliment to the AC marque, and 289/427's in particular is the number of replica's (good, bad and indifferent!) that pay homage to them.
Plus, I guess the sheer volume of replicas means original car owners can still get some parts (e.g brasscraft screens etc) when they need them?
Hope you dont mind a replica owner posting, and feel free to visit www.cobraclub.com and see another angle on the marque.
