[K1w1]

I bought the first car (1of 50, it is COB2700) and it is now in NZ. The body is vinylester and the standard of finish is superb and the fit up can not be faulted. Few teething probs as would be expected from the first car. Compared with original CSX2xxx cars there are almost no differences, even down to the whitworth threads in the cast uprights. Shelby via AC / Hi-tech did a run of 50 of these cars numbered CSX8950-99, they sold out in 48hrs in 2012, because of this run of 50 cars for Shelby the AC cars were never promoted (lack of capacity at the RSA, Hi-tech factory), so there have only ever been a number guestimated in the teens produced. The AC marketed cars are of a much, much higher spec than the slabside CSX8000 cars. I believe Shelby American has commissioned AC to do a run of 50 1964 MKIII 289 FIA cars, which will probably block the 2012 MKII run from ever being completed.......
