If I had a "continuation" Cobra made by Carol Shelby, 4000, 7000, 8000 series for instance, I would have no problem saying it was "real" at a stop light or similiar encounter.
In such matters further discussion may be warranted, please pull up a chair and lets talk!
I certainly don't want to be "high brow" about it, nor do I wish to offend in any way our English friends. Just trying to find some balance.......
