My dream Cobra... Mentally fast, and I prefer the "slimline" body... Never to be unless the lottery is outragously kind, and I employ the luckiest chauffeur in the world! Don't ask what I currently drive, I'm hauled around by my 40 kg guide dog Earl!

one rather fine Cob is that IMO!

Esprit V8 is a nice choice for these too, should certainly help keep that Cob performance reputation alive and very well!

[matty!]

You've had it 1 year and love it
I've looked at about 5 pictures and love it !
that car is perfection ! i love it

That looks a dream mate, what's that: 450 something brake?

[arryb]

My word what a machine the RV8 ones go well that must go like stink!

Stuning. The perfect cobra?

Oh no:


Shaun Lynn's 644 CGT is.

Very nice!! I like how its not all bling and stupidly expensive braided hoses and shiny stainless panelling in the engine bay and I like how the interior is dark and basic.

Most replica cars I have seen are all white leather lined and far to bling for my liking and IMO not in the ethos of the original car.

Very nice

Looks like a handfull. I love it.

[Ron Burgundy]

is that the one that was for sale on here for quite a while a long time ago?

[v15ben]

I remember seeing it in the showroom when it was for sale and thinking the new owner would be a lucky, lucky individual
