The hot rods are not classed as ICV.

They are supposed to have an original part somewhere (although I think even that line has been blurred).
Most normaly used an original frame, or even cross member.
But I think they are now succesfully arguing that these are now too hard to find, or damaged/rusted that repro ones are better.
I have said all along we should be joining these guys and trying to get our Cobra's through the same way.
But I also realise that a Cobra like yours or mine Baz has a totaly differing chassis compared to a genuine Cobra, so a car like Kirkham, FFR, Era, possably new CR (the ones with round chassis rails) might be better suited?

And I agree it doesnt seem fair, but the HotRod guys got together and did something about it, so far apart from the small group that was put together, all that Cobra guys have done is sulk.

Is this group still together and still trying to change things? Has anyone been keeping up to date with them? Has anyone offered to assist?
I know I havent, but I am a little further away than most of you.
