Emmanuel, you are tough to figure out, MKIV's ARE genuine Cobra's, (but NOT ORIGINAL), I think we can all agree on that, no matter what you think, you are flat out wrong regarding the MKIV, MKIV's were made by AC, under Ford's blessing, in the UK, and in most cases with Aluminum bodies by very skilled English craftsman. Just because there were some political and legal forces at work with Mr. Shelby in the 80's and his involvement with "another" of the big three, and the political motives behind SAAC, most people agree AC's are genuine, they are even kept track of by SAAC. Anyway, I love my car and you are entitled to your opinion but honestly, some of the things you have said, should maybe not be published on an AC automobile forum.

Jan
