Ha!! Oh yeah! I have the book - autographed by the 43 crew members and drivers. Actually; I sold several on eBay the past couple of years, and shipped them all over the world. Only 400 produced (the signed version), and they area all numbered. My personal copy has never been opened. Shrink wrap is still on it. One that I sold went for $600.00. It is an amazing book, for sure. It weighs over 5 lbs., and is enclosed in a special slipcase. Each of these have a Cobra chassis plate affixed to the inner cover with the books s/n etched on it (xxx/400).
One of my prized models (chassis #2299 by Exoto).. note the 'Dan Gurney for President' bumper sticker - autographed by him.
Do I own a Cobra, or a replica? No. I just dream about it. I live only five hours from Unique Motorcars (Gadsden, AL), and have visited their shop. I also love the 289 FIAs. They build a nice one.
Personally; I drive a 2003 MAZDASPEED, that is boosted. For the money; it's fantastic!! It's one (production #38) of 1,150 in the world in Black Mica finish.
