[Dirty Harry]

I built a Shell Valley car 16 years ago and am still driving it today. It was a low dollar project, but it turned out pretty nice. I've never regretted going with SV. I've driven the snot out of the car on the autocross courses at the last several London shows. It's never been on a trailer and has never broken down and made me walk. It's won a bunch of car show trophies and people stop and stare at it when I drive through a town. It accelerates hard, corners well, and stops good, too. The body looks good, although I had some problems with fit on some of the components. I understand they corrected those issues after my car was built. Their people are great to deal with. I have about 30% of the dollars in my car as the nicer replicas out there, but no one has more fun than me. If I were looking to build another Cobra replica today, I'd call them for sure. If you're looking at a SV that's already been built, make sure you drive it, and check it ALL OVER for anything that would make it unsafe. These cars are a handful, even if well built.
