early ones had windshield, lots of teak in cabin, floors and dash, vents on sides of bow...

later model after 84 had aluminum windscreen , less teak, liner cabin, to me the 84-86 are much more cooler looking... thats me though..

In 1979 Don sold Cigarette and in 1980 the Mistress name was dropped and the 35 became the 35/OS for the years 1980 - 1982. From 1983 - 1986 the 35 was named the 35L/OS or the 35S/OS (different options). In 1987 - 1988 the 35 went back to the 35/OS and was dropped from the line after 1988. The Mistress model name appeared again from 2003 - 2004 and was dropped again.

I think subtly it comes down to

You want drama and turning heads you get the KV
you want classic style with timeless class go the mistress
bit like comparing a muscle car to a ferrari or jaguar XKE

Cant go wrong nice problem to have!
