Last time I saw that car I was hanging out the upstairs window of the office in Frimley with my Hasselblad......

so it cannot be, in any way, shape or form or dictionary definition an 'ORIGINAL' AC 289. It can be a brand new 2003 AC 289FIA. Just my humble UK-based observation that I assume the guys at the factory will support (OK Mark?)

And by the way, nobody currently employed at Frimley ever worked at Thames Ditton. Nit-picking, I know, but so is the whole of the Cobra history these days, since battered egos still love stirring the old pot. Can't be too careful, you know. In fact, to be totally accurate, the guys who hammered out that car are no longer there either, but maybe that's too much information......time to go.
