Ron,

I've never thought about it.... mainly because I've had to answer that question many times from other Cobra owners while we look over and talk about each others car. It just seems natural to ask, "so, what manufacture is this?", or if it's obvious in some way, say "this is a Classic Roadster, right?" You have to remember that this finished product started off a a pile of parts. What we're looking at is usually the result of a lot of someones sweat and labor. The builder is probably more proud of his work than to be insulted because someone asked him who the manufacture is. Even if the car is a turnkey minus like a Superformance, I wouldn't think it rude to ask what it is. I could be wrong....... wouldn't be the first time
