No, he's referring to the kit-car industry. There are now more Cobra kits than
Countach kits! (I didn't think _anything_ could do that!) It is probably the
most popular kit around. One of the Kit Car mags had an interview with him, and
he didn't seem too annoyed about them. This (above) actually surprises me. He
has been producing (reproducing?) Cobras for a couple of years now, but they go
for a LOT of money. I think the article (that I am replying on) is talking about
a new car (new style) not a re-issue of the old one.
Later,
Kevin
