Hello Glen,
When I registered with CC way back in 2003 I owned a Contemporary Cobra. The pictures in my profile BTW.I didn't subscribe to the "real vs authentic vs original" nonsense. Not then - not now. So I just kept the sig line without updating to the CSX (2003) and later a Kirkham (2010). I felt those who knew me understood my methodology.
Anyway, like doing a search on an old girlfriend I was curious to see what if any changes had been made to my old gal.
And yes she went to Italy. Sold to a gentleman named Emanuel. I was the original owner of CSX 4802. Waited 2 years from the time it was ordered to take delivery. It was sold as a non-roller with a branded title due to a less than minor mishap.
So there's your story.........
Best regards,
Bret.
