BTW, how cool would it be to have a Superformance car converted to Mirage dimensions? Dig that rear window and rounded roof!

The bottom line according to SAAC: Harley Cluxton owns the Mirage trademark, and thus is the Mirage factory. He is planning to reconstruct the wrecked Mirage 10002 using a chassis purpose-built by Hi-Tech (Superformance). SAAC also notes that up to six continuation Mirages may be built. It's a fascinating scenario - cars built by the Mirage factory which will be fully eligible for FIA Historic Technical Passports!
FIA Tech Passport is available to every repop. But they won't help you at the great events,... can run HSR all day with them... A clone, 'cloak' and a fake all share the same heritage. Clearly the Cobra kit market has driven up the price of the originals. Just calling a spade a spade.
"It's already in the works. If you have a copy, read page 1183 of the new edition of "World Registry of Cobras and GT40s" published by SAAC:

How cool is that! I talked with Cluxton (Bony, ins't he an old Glenview guy too?) years ago about the Mirage. Oddly enough, at that time he was highly critical of the GT40 MkV that was making the rounds in the various car mags, Automobile in particular. Seems to me this car will be an extension of the MkV '40s anyhow.
