That is just a plain insult to lovers of motoring history and historic racing cars.
Don't worry Nik, it will stop - when the electricity runs out, which is going to be sooner than everyone thinks.

I can’t image computer generated V8 noises sounding particularly authentic.
How will it pass an IVA test with regards to protrusions and lighting.
As Roger was saying we will be running out of the electricity especially in the SE. It wasn’t that long ago they thought we would be rationed in trying to keep the lights on over the winter. Madness.
I wonder what price it would be without the electric motor and batteries.
I guess it will make Gerry’s offering rather attractive.

I sah in the beginning of this conversation mentioned that Germany was also a land where the production was, Im curious who that was. i know only one man who had the right on using the name but never the right of building real ones. he tryed to sell the right to a dutchman who wanted to build a new model LEMANS kind of cobra he wanted me also to participate but the german lost the rights

Juergen Mohr was producing the AC MkVI based on his Mohr Cobra, which was a modified version of the Dax Supertube.
Mohr’s company, Gullwing gmbh was producing Mercedes replicas until that was ‘shut down’.
This makes interesting reading!
