Evan's car is nice. This one, however, is spectacular.
That said, not sure it's worth the asking price today. You're getting into original cobra pricing now.

If SA ever ceases building continuation cobras, this one would probably be the one to have for investment purposes.

As for me, I just like to be able to jump in mine and drive up the coast with the wife for lunch. Park it wherever I want to and walk away with my hat, sunglasses and garage door opener left sitting on the console.
I have to take the counterpoint here and disagree.

Carbon fiber body? Unique? They made 6 I think, not one. At this price level, I want alloy. 700 HP Bill Elliott engine? Ya, like that can't be duplicated every day of the week and twice on Tuesdays. Not impressed. And all those red and blue Aeroquip fittings? Blech. At $325,000 everybody involved is sniffing aerosol cans. I'd buy Evan's CSX4206 before this one AND with the rest of money buy a Porsche GT3 RS.
