What'saCobra?, thank you for your knowledge of the AC MKIV and sharing it with us. I had no idea of the SAAC Concours Car Show Guidelines as you mentioned and you open up interesting discussion on your thoughts and opinions. I stand corrected on the side marker lights. Maybe I should have said all the MKIV's except the "Lightweights". The original owner of my AC MKIV specifically requested Brian Angliss to not install the side marker lights, add Halibrand knockoff spinners and hood scoop. Yes, my AC has the other safety features of a "standard" MKIV (per the Shelby Registry).

I almost ordered a Series I Lightweight in 1990 because of the S/C style features. I decided to keep what I had and slightly modify it (the changes can be reversed easily).

My girlfriend actually likes riding in my AC MKIV better than my 64 Shelby Cobra because "it's prettier and there's more room". She doesn't care if the CSX is much faster or valuable, she likes the "comfort" value.
