[QUOTE="lindie, post: 8709, member: 1466"] chalk me up as a W196 fan who is more than happy to admire them from afar. to my knowledge theres noone out there doing affordable commercially available replicas with inboard front drums, a desmo straight eight, and the "I won the mille miglia" bragging rights so though the new supercars can easily kick the originals arse it has a bit of history to try and back up it's stupid price. the rest of the value is cos it's got tartan seats.:rolleyes: over here many an xj6 has been raided for it's suspension components to build cobra replicas and i also subscribe to the each to their own theory, but don't want one. i think the ace is where they should have left things same as with the sunbeam tiger, as though they might not be as fast as the big banger they spawned, they won't be trying to throw the bulk that is the FE side oiler off the track at 140 mph plus either. D type: worth replicating. cobra: worth letting someone else own. [/QUOTE]
