Cobra Make, Engine:

Default Fiberglass or Aluminium body

Well...since I can't afford an original Cobra, I'm looking for "the best" from both worlds (originality, price and value).
If I take a good example in fiberglass (Superformance) and aluminium (Kirkham) with similar specs concerning the engine there is a difference pricewise of more or less $30K to $40K.
What do you specialists think: is it worth to spend that amount more "just" to have an aluminium replica? Please don't get me wrong. I'm an absolut "steel guy" - drive hot rods and would never drive a fiberglass bodied 30's era Ford!
The brushed aluminium looks absolutely stunning (there is now an example for sale in Cobracountry for $77500 and a nice example of a Superformance for $46500.--) And the Kirkham comes with a Side-oiler, too...

I know at the end of the day I have to decide and it's my money - but I really appreciate your inputs!!
Peter
