Superformance as you know, isnt a kit car. Its built in Africa and then only the motor is installed stateside. So everyone is essentially professionally built.....
No O'ffense, but that isn't zackly accurate.
We've had this same conversation several times over the years, and every time I explain that I got that info from a book called "The Complete Guide to Cobra Replicas". IIRC it was volume one or two.
Back around 1999, I was seriously researching which cobra kit to buy.
I bought that book when doing my research.

There was also a placed called cobra City, a shop that bought and sold cobras and also raced them.
I knew the guys who worked there and they knew me.

I see no need to rehash all that. FF makes a fine car and has for a long time.
BUT, when FF was in it's infancy and had not developed they rushed a car to production before it was ready.
They survived and improved and got a whole lot better.
