Well I see you have REal knockoffs on your stretched and tweaked Backdraft with 2 chrome rollbars - no low class replica for you, no sir not at all!

All kidding aside though, the Brooklands product is far more of a Cobra in the true sense, while the Mark VI is a modern creation that carries on in the spirit of the original. Kinda like a BDR, but with a more authentic looking body and stance.

Edit to add - looking at your gallery pics, though I'm not a fan of the 2 bar look or the liberties BDR took with their body shape, your car is one of the nicest Backdrafts I've seen.
