While at NY Kennedy airport, awaiting flight time I noticed a glossy magazine that listed the 30 all time best sportcar designs. Well, I could not resist. The AC Shelby Cobra was listed in 7th place, with the footnote that imitation is the greatest form of flattery, and an estimated 30,000 replica 427/289/260 Cobras exist to prove the point.

I did not commit the list to memory however, the E-type Jaguar was number 1 and the Austin-Healey was up there with the MG TC, the Porsche 911 and the Aston Martin.

I did not get the issue but it is worth looking for if you are so inclined.
