People in this hobby take themselves and these cars way too seriously. Yes - the cars are awesome and iconic and all that, and I suppose it might be fun to pretend to be part of the guardianship of some big closed-society secret; but to feel the need to discourage discussion about one of the more telling and interesting controversies involving Cobras is just ridiculous.
What obligations do any (and I mean ANY) of us here on this discussion forum have to be all hush hush to others about someone's desperate attempt to secure a dubious legacy for their cobbled-together Cobra? This is a HOBBY, g--dammit and anyone here should be free to discuss and speculate about the provenance of any car they choose.
Good luck to the owners of the two CSX3016 wannabes ( and whoever may own the wreckage of the real car if it even exists anymore) but it's no more than a very interesting story about a wrecked car and some people's attempt to cash in on it's legacy! Big friggin' deal!
These are my thoughts - anyone else?
