That's the problem with cloning - something in the DNA gets lost in translation.....nice try though!

The lads should have waited until after Sunday lunch to pull their wishbone:

Thing is, you have to know which one is which when you go into the garage of a morning...[:p]

   Lets just say there are two Cobra`s with the chassis No CSX 2127 ,one was built by AC ,the other one was built by Kirkham !!Do the rear arches look wider on one of the cars ?
   
   You can ask Shaun and Kevin what happened when they get back.
   
   Both cars look almost indentical,but one has a Screen on the grille,and the other car does not have a screen on the grille.I have just noticed,one car has clear indicators,the other one has orange indicators
   
   
   
   
   

   
   
   I do not understand that message...!
   
   For my opinion with #3 you can see an early picture of CSX 2127 at Goodwood TT in 2005 and #12 is a lot more recent photograph still at Goodwood...
   
   A car for racing purpose is in constant evolution, not only in period.

Moi??!!! Hardly my fault if some decent folk wih to run their toys through the photo-copier. Some people call it professionalism. I, on the other hand, couldn't possibly comment :)

Lump it or like it Louism,these are two different cars,one is an AC, one is a Kirkham, when I get the chance to photograph both cars again, I will post the pics on here.
   
   These cars are also owned By Ludovic

   now here is a picture of the original back in June 1963 at Laguna Seca (photo by Dave Friedman)
   
   
   
   front wheel arches, under nose air intakes and high attachment of rear wheel arch extensions look more like the #12 car;
   whereas hoodscoop looks more like the #3 car;
   front bar is an easy peace to move from one to the other;
