So in that case, it does not make sense to use the terms "Shelby Cobra", "FFR Roadster", "Kirkham Daytona Coupe" or "ERA FIA Cobra"? We instead need to say something like "Non Shelby licensed ERA component vehicle with final assembly performed by Joe Bag of Donuts that resembles an FIA Cobra, which by the way is NOT real nor original".

Who cares if it is a component vehicle? A new Shelby Cobra is still a Shelby Cobra, it is just not an original Shelby Cobra.
