Rich,
You are right it IS a replica, however it is more than just an exterior shape copy, it has an "original" type tub (that may be plus or not dependant upon your needs).
I did not mean to imply that it IS a FAV/JW car, just that it is closest to those.
BTW, a certain "Mr. C. Shelby" will disagree with your statement regarding non-AC chassised vehicles "Not being Cobras" as he is selling his Polish/South African/Mexican chassised cars as "Cobras"!!!!
Yes, original "Ford GT40s" were built in the 60s in the UK, the SPF "GT40" IS a "GT40", just not a Ford and not a 1960s original.........
