There are probably 3-4 iconic kit cars that can be recognized by the brand they replicate. There are many more that I can't even describe well enough to send you on a chase.
I saw a something yesterday that was red and said it was a GT40 on the side with a meatball number. It was not much like a GT40. I think red sports racer coupe would have been ID enough for any LEO.
But to describe those awful things with the chrome flex pipes coming out of the hood as a Mercedes is most likely misleading. Awful old roadster with chrome flex pipes is plenty enough.
But, if Carol Shelby with all of his lawsuits is OK with Factory Five cars being titled "Cobra," I guess I'm cool with it. All Factory Five will call it is a Mk4 Roadster.
This from the FF site: "COBRA, Cobra 427 S/C, and Cobra replica are registered trademarks of Ford Motor Company and/or are not used by Factory Five Racing to..."
