With Pete Brock, who looks pretty chipper for being damn near 80:

He comes almost every Saturday to the Vegas Cars and Coffee. He usually drives his "Brock Coupe" (his own continuation version of the Daytona Coupe also made at Hi Tech in South Africa.).

Very cool, is "Hi Tech" a manufacturing network that subs out production for multiple mfg's, or do the cars they produce share platforms and components with one another?

Hi tech is a south African contract auto manufacturer that makes both new and replica cars. They are best known for their cobras. They contract build for both superformance and Shelby fiberglass cars. While built in the same factory the spf and Shelby cars have only look and feel in common. They also make the Daytona coupe csx9000 cars which were "sold" by superformance to shelby. All of the recent order coupes are much more drivable than the originals because of passenger compartment changes. I almost bought a alloy spf coupe instead of my gt. It was an awesome car that that would cost nearly 400k to reproduce and it was built hand rolled alloy in Africa not in poland. Last I heard they built 2 of them.

I always wondered about that... In hindsight it makes sense. I had always wanted a CAV GT40, then I had heard the SPF and Shelby were made there... I figured it was SPF's plant and Shelby was subcontracting to SPF.

Kirkham makes a fantastic Coupe.

That looks incredible.

CAV is not part of SPF or Hi tech
