Market commentary
A Cobra rival, well put together and, at least from its specs list, carefully thought out. Its not going to impress the folks at a Shelby meet but itll make its own statement at British car gatherings and provide an entertaining driving experience on the way there and home, particularly at this price, a fraction of what it cost to build. It doesnt rank high in the investment category but it has a high coefficient of adrenalin.
