Cobra v Sebring
Discussion
Well I'm really torn between two cars for my next toy.
My wife hated the Tuscan 2 so I thought I'd try something else with a less harsh ride, great for the good weather and still okay when the weather changes.
We've still got sensible cars for the snow etc.
I want something for fun use, the odd tour and the odd commute.
I like the 7 style but think that we really want a bit more comfort, hence the two options.
There's a lovely purple Sebring at Sovereign Cars at £15,995 and a really lovely Cobra at Total Head Turners.
Personally, I prefer the looks of the Cobra but suspect that the windows in the Sebring are better for the wet days. I think that the Cobra windows are flexible plastic type strips.
The Cobra has a 3.5 V8 and the Sebring a 3.9 V8.
Any thoughts or advice would be very welcome!
Should I be thinking of soemthing completely different? My budget is up to £20k and I'm trying to avoid heavy maintenance costs.

Chimaera? 
So he's now got a choice of three kit cars............. At least two of the three kits I've owned were better built than my TVR.
But if you want a two seat, Rover V8 engined roadster with good weather gear, decent practicality and affordable Ford running gear then they're the obvious choice. Personally, although I love kits, I wouldn't go for a replica-type car unless it was very close to the original. A Griffmaera has basically the same brawny appeal as a Cobra with its own individual identity too.
