Is that a kit that you built?

It's my dream to build a kit cobra with a v8 and side exit exhausts.

One day...

No I've bought it done.. But it's something I would love to do, but we have a two year old and twins on the way!
So no chance of that.. Just tinkering, polishing and driving!

No but I've been looking at Sovereign
For a while, them and Hallmark, but bought this private.
The underside suspension etc is almost in as good a condition as the outside.
Gonna paint the chassis, plenum and rocker covers in blue.
As part of the detailing I wanna carry out.

I think it's a criminal offence to put the hood up on a cobra.

It should be if it's not. Lovely car, horrible roof. hide it. burn it. anything, but don't put it up (even in the rain)
