Some people might say Roland's Cobra is little more than a factory
butchered Ace. Ditto MGB-GT V8s and Triumph TR8s. Hell, isn't an AH
100-6 a factory butchered 100-4? Not to me; I prefer to think of it
as evolution rather than butchering. Except maybe the 1500cc Midget;
now that's a hatchet job. :^)
