A To Whom It May Concern report dated today explains why COX6010 is classified as a Replica constructed in the mid 80s. Artcurial and other interested parties have copies.
If anyone would like this report (2 pages plus 6 pages of attachments) please email me.

In 2011 Peter Bradfield imported a very low mileage early Cobra in first rate order (no side vents, narrow arches, worm & sector etc).
A shed load of recent 'improvements' make it the 2014 standard-issue go-faster product, far removed from the AC original. Is it the same car , or has a new one been built ?

Aaron and Stephen should become registrars: they would then find that their positions have unfortunate consequences in law. As I understand them these positions cast doubt on Paul Vestey’s Cobra ownership, Joachim von Beust’s Cobra ownership and Alex Boswell’s Cobra ownership, to name just a few who spring to mind.
A short while later Aaron and Stephen would receive proceedings (probably including, but not limited to, malicious defamation), as would whatever Club had appointed them as registrars. There would be no defence to these proceedings because Aaron and Stephen would be acting unlawfully by, inter alia, redefining ‘ownership’ on a basis that has no foundation in any leading jurisdiction. In consequences Aaron and Stephen would be £100,000 or more out of pocket.
A knowledge of the law is essential to any registrar in a sensitive position, including a legal understanding of ‘qualified privilege’ and the conditions it entails. It would be better for any future poster to this string to research the law before offering further insights.
I will not make any further posting to this string, except in response to quoted legal precedent, being uninterested in uninformed opinion.

So where would you get a VIN No for a car?
From its registration document (V5C, Carte Gris etc)
Is the chassis No not also the VIN No for Cobras? As the chassis No was stamped on a lot of various parts on the car for identity purposes?
The question is the wrong way round. I’ll answer a different one: Is the VIN (car number) not stamped/engraved on various parts of the car? Yes, in some places in full (eg CSX2042) and in others in part (eg 2042) when the car is made. However, as parts are replaced these stamped numbers can change.
For example, COB6034 has 6056 on its bonnet latch and both door hinges, no number on its chassis and an after-market chassis plate. Its VIN is still COB6034. There are many similar examples in the Register.
Any further questions on VINs and what they connote can easily be researched from authoritative sources.
