I know Superformance is in S.A., but I gather that the majority of the cars there are not actually Superformance cars. Did someone working for them decide to strike out on their own, and produce a less expensive version?
I see that article on Superformance, doesn't mention if Shelby won or lost his suits against them. I gather he must have lost, and decided to join them rather than fight them. To bad he kept on with these frivolous law suits, as he lost twice to FFR, but it cost FFR dearly to fight them. I never did hear if he ever went after the Kirkham's, in a similar way?

Fast at any speed-Cobra
At a stage it was very rare to even see a Superformance here due to the fact that they were mostly shipped to the US. Most available Cobras here were either Shamrock or Kit Car Centre Cobras. Actually I think that Shamrock Autocraft was the first company in South Africa to build Cobra replicas as they started building Cobras back in about 1984. Now the Backdraft Cobras are the talk of the town.

Q,
Another great collection of Cobras. If I had one I think I would build a raft and put it on it and start down there. According to my globe it would all be downhill so I should make good time. :crazy

You could always ask Nomad to give you a tow behind the ferry. :crazy

Q,
Another great bunch of cars. And how did you get Darren's Bronze Cobra in there?
Ron
Don't tell Darren, but Nomad actually pitched up in it wearing a "reversible jumpsuit and a tie dyed beanie with a propellor on top". :o

Q,
Those are great pictures and I still wish that GT-40 was mine. But what color red is this one? I like it and it looks as if it would really stand out.
Ron
Sorry Ron. Your guess is as good as mine. Alexw sporting the black T-shirt. The silver Cobra was a past project car of Gian and myself.
