Wow... what a thread. I have been away from the forum for a while, but this has my interest!
Certainly, as a former SPF owner, as well as the previous owner of another brand, I can atest to the superior quality of the SPF car, and to Doug Reed's dedication to his customers.
But we all know about how good SPF is, so on to relevant questions about "the other guys". This is very meaningful to me, as I currently do not own a cobra, but plan to buy in the next 6 months. So I would like to know what is going on down there in S.A. with Mr. Shelby and CAV. Are these "real" cars? After all, if the price and quality are on par, then they are a competitor for my money.
So I have some questions:
1. Has anyone seen, or seen pictures of Shelby's facility in South Africa?
2. Has anyone seen the discounted S.A. cars, or pictures of the cars, that are coming out of Shelby's South Africa facility? What is the trim and quality level?
3. Have people given any money to these folks for a S.A. car, and subsequently taken delivery, or received anything at all?
I am curious. If anyone can fill me in as to where to find info on the above questions and info on how viable the Shelby-CAV-South Africa venture is, that would be a great help.
