Evan and Brent,
If Shelby can claim rights to the Cobra mark (owned by Ford) by obtaining license rights, why can Price not have the same deal with AC?
When it comes to credibility, at least SPF has a living, fully built, saleable AC Mk II IN the US. It was displayed on the SPF stand at Elkhart Lake in July already. Where are SAI’s claimed SA CSX’s? Everyone can post several pix of the AC as Turk did on the other thread and of a batch of pictures on the assembly line in Frimley are easily available. Can SAI do the same with the CAV CSX on which it is claimed they have been taking deposits?
In spite of numerous requests, SAI has not been able to show one single completed so-called CAV CSX. Why? Because there are none to date. Why can't production line pictures be posted?
I've personally had the pleasure of meeting Jim Price at the DVSF and found him to be a person that does not "embellish" his knowledge, experiences or entrapreneurial abilities. He traveled half way around the world to attend the largest gathering of cobra owners in the world and answer any and all questions .
It didn't matter what marque was in attendance or which owner asked the question, each was addressed with equal respect and thoroughness. Where was Carroll Shelby? and where were YOU?
This is a case where the man, Jim Price, puts his money where his mouth is and that's obviously with the consumers that ensure success.
A clarification is important here: Jim Price does not own the brand, he has however secured a license and legal rights to use the brand and holds all rights to build and sell the cars.
P.S. Dan is more than "Mabee" right
