quote:Originally posted by SunDude This is certainly true of the Superformance MkIII. But in the case of the Shelby continuation Cobras (289 and 427) and of the SPF MkII, Hi-Tech replicates an original-style round tube chassis with 3-inch or 4-inch mains, depending on the model. The MkII has transverse leaf-spring suspension, and the MkIII uses coil-spring suspension. I would imagine the AC versions will be similar.
quote:Originally posted by SunDude With pleasure. As it happens the guy who developed the MkII for Hi-Tech/SPF/Shelby et al. is the guy I bought my SPF Cobra from. He painstakingly replicated the original CSX2000 cars for this project, and had access to an original throughout. I saw one of his "babies" a year ago and it was simply stunning. Only a marque expert like Ned Scudder could tell it from the real thing.

That is not my understanding of the definition of a car maker.

quote:Originally posted by riverside All of the above pictures are of my pre production car. It was rushed off to Geneva for that show but it was built for me, and not to meet IVA specs. which we don`t have to meet here. The car that was sent to Goodwood was the first rh version and the first of the 50 Celebration cars. That car has most of the IVA requirements. The next car,which left the factory today for the Mcau motor show in China, is closer to the real deal. This car has already been sold so will remain in Asia. Ross
