Hi Allan.

As Peter Brock readily concedes now: "From what I know now the 'ring spoiler' wouldn’t have worked as well as I thought." And SPF are having a difficult enough job selling Coupes (in the UK at least) without installing something that would distance their Coupe from the car most people associate it with (and which was actually built), whether it's a replica or not...

Not sure what you mean by the King Cobra reference to the DeTomaso. I've never called it that. (Although I could bore you with an old article I wrote on Shelby and Brock's involvement on this car). Even Peter Brock (who is not Shelby's biggest fan) says it should be known as the Shelby DeTomaso.

Cheers

Rob
