I admire your enthusiasm but I think that there would be too many arguments over who would be untitled to drive it next and of course who would look after it in a suitable environment.
Carry on dreaming.

Re: CSX2000 is FOR SALE!!!!!
I wonder who paid $12.5M + commission for CSX2000? I was more surprised to see it eclipsed by the Le Mans-winning 'D' type that totalled over $20M though...perhaps if the Cobra was as English as the Jag, it would have made more?!
It`s about time it found a new home, someone who can afford to replace those ratty old seats for a start!

Those 'ratty old seats' will have Mr Shelby's bumsweat in them - that probably constitutes at least $8.5 of the price alone, given the way the yanks worship himnikbj68 wrote:I wonder who paid $12.5M + commission for CSX2000?

Probably best to remove them then Maybe put 'em in some sort of display case. Meanwhile, put a decent pair in so it can be driven!Roger King wrote:Those 'ratty old seats' will have Mr Shelby's bumsweat in them - that probably constitutes at least $8.5 of the price alone, given the way the yanks worship him
