Hi all,

I am new to both PH and the area, just moved down from Berkshire to Hedge End, I am looking at getting a Cobra replica, in fact going to look at one this weekend. I am a keen driver but was after some tips on what to look out for.

Any advise would be much appreciated before I step into the breach.

Regards,
Mike

Thanks I just bought one today, it needs a little bit of work, mainly paint but it was a reasonable deal. it's not too bad 4.6l with plenty of oomph, Drove it down today, still have a buzz from the drive even though it was all stop start.

Martin, booked in tomorrow morning so should be right as rain, it doesn't seem to be too bad only a little splatter, I drove it down to Chichester on Monday and it was ok, hope the weather is ok tomorrow as I might go out for a blast when I get it back, Auto tune are doing a service as well for good measure.

Guys get some photos of the cars on your profiles your killing me here! I will be buying a Cobra next year just selling the house and it's on the list of toys..... Pssibly a DAX or Gardner Douglas.

I might be going to leMans 24H next year if my plan comes together, had a great drive down this year but no drama with my X5.
