No, No. Kirkhams do belong in the Registry. I have no issue with this. They have a definite Shelby connection by way of their supply of the aluminum rollers for SAI in the past (and now????Hmmm) and their exact duplication/cloning of the specifications of the original car, which many would argue is an improvement over the original in fit, finish and materials used. Anyway, its akin to COB and COX being included vis a vis the originals. AC supplied the rollers then and had the right to use the name "Cobra" in the old days.

There a definite justification and analogy based on the past. Whats fair is fair.

No issue here.

On the down side for you Kirkham owners, hate to burst bubbles here, there is no concomitant statement from SAAC that Kirkhams are also considered "genuine Cobras" and based on their previous statements I don't see them doing so. The only cars considered genuine/real cobras are still the original CSXs Continuation CSXs, COX, and COB series cars. Sorry, they said it not me.
