Would of thought a orginial genuine cobra signed by carrol shelby would be worth a huge amount more than that, some of the replica's are getting near that!
http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/classic-car-fo... theres some prices at the bottom, and i bet the one in question is worth more than them!
Sorry just threw a number out there, I have absolutely no idea what any Cobras are worth - runs to hide. Restrictive work internet doesn't make it easy to find out either.
The 328 is actualy a 288GTO, so you can add £300k onto your guesstimate smile

It's an impressive collection but it is very formulaic.

It is very much as if some guy needed to make out he liked cars and went out a couple of weeks ago and bought all the fancy new ones and as many of the old benchmark ones as possible.

This is not the garage of an actual enthusiast, there's no spirit, no character, no passion.

Are you mad? He has a Cobra, 250 GTO, Muira, F40 etc..... but it has 'no spirit, no character, no passion'?????? What would he have needed to have brought for you to say that he is a car 'enthusiast'?

I agree Stuart. What possibly could the guy buy that would turn him into an "actual enthusiast"?
