Hi,
It depends on which ones. The Superformance Cobras from South Africa are considered the best -
www.superformance.com, but I also like the all-alloy ones from -
www.KirkhamMotorsports.com These are produced by a former MIG 15, 17 and 19 Licensee in Poland. Of course, Shelby is also making a
replica -
www.shelbyamerican.com which is probably quite good too. The main difference is that none of these are using actual Bristol Ace chassis. IMHO, all the others are ********************.
For the Speedsters, I think only the Beck -
www.beckspeedster.com is worthwhile. I also like their 550 replica. I have a friend who has an original 550 (#47) from new (see pic below - he and I discussing the car) ,
and a Beck 550, which he drives because the original is too valuable to risk having some immigrant ram into it. He says the Beck is better than the original - more power, better brakes, stiffer chassis. I drove his original, but not his Beck. I did drive one Speedster replica from Boulder Speedster -
www.boulderspeedster.com and wasn't impressed. Poor Fibreglass lay-up and felt like a kit car.
Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
