[Tigers] One of a kind Cobra

[David T Johnson]

At the Chicago British Car Festival a few years back we had a real.
1934 Aston Martin LeMas Replica.  After winning the 24 Hrs of LeMans
Aston Martin made 3 exact replicas of the winning car.  This was
one of the three. Now that's what I cansider a replica.
 
In my mind this 'Cobra' is just another of many kit cars.

Very interesting car, for sure.  And expensive, lol. But it begs a couple of
questions for the list.  Is it a clone? Is it a replica? What defines those
terms?  Does a clone mimic a car already in existence down to the last rivet?
Does a replica mean something identical to a vehicle that rolled off  the
assembly line? Or is it just the outer skin, for looks?   To me, a clone would
be to pay homage to a praticlular car, not marque, but a particular vehicle,
while a replica would be exactly like an assembly  line of cars rolled off
thefactory floor.

Any discussion for a Saturday morning, just for fun?
