Hi

I was wondering how many JBL roadsters are in existence finished or unfinished.

Based upon some of Richard's past posts, I fully realize his initial design goal for the JBL competition roadster as well as his passion for developing it along those lines; however, I strongly believe that its unique body styling is alienating it from the majority of potential Cobra buyers, myself included.

Please don't get me wrong. I do auto styling as a hobby, and consequently would be one of the first to respect another's personal art form. It just seems such a shame that many are passing up the opportunity to own the BEST semi-monocoque steel chassis that I have ever laid eyes upon, simply because the aesthetics of the roadster's body didn't appeal to them.

Again, I understand that the JBL roadster was never intended to be marketed as a "Cobra replica;" however, the reality is that the bulk of JBL's potential customers ARE people looking for a Cobra replica, or at least something fairly close. Strictly from a business/profit perspective has JBL ever considered offering an optional "classic style" body? If not, would it even be considered?
