He has in the advert:

available for sale now as I fancy a new build project, or it stays for the summer!

wink

Although I have to add I always find it strange that people put so much time, effort and indeed cash into a car only to flog it as soon as they've finished it!

I'd be tempted if I had the cash.

cars finished, i'm just a bit bored...


this would be the 4th cobra or griff i've built/rebuilt over the last few years...I just like the "build" process, and am always thinking of what i can build next .....at any one time, i've got at least half a dozen new project ideas running around my head.


still thinking i should keep the griff and just get another project anyway....

As long as it takes to do a proper job. Obviously decent pics are essential and hopefully not taken on mobiles as the resolution tends to be too low and they can't be reproduced in print at a decent quality and size.

It would be great to see an article in Sprint on this unique car. Steve you have certainly spent enough time on the car, may as well show it off cool

I still love that green.... really suits the Griff.

Steve, how did you make up the brake master cylinder cover, did you have a mould? If so I would be happy to buy a couple of covers off you.

covered the whole with cling film, fibreglassed over, used a plastic cup to form a "shape" over the fluid cap.

it fits the citroen cap i have on the reservoir, but wouldnt fit the ford one.

if you wait a few weeks, Ian at sportmotive will have these available as he is taking a mould from mine.

Steve, Know exactly where you are coming from. The main enjoyment for me is working on the car. As soon as one job is done i am itching to start something else on it. Glad you have decided to keep it for now as i am sure during the summer you will really enjoy it, weather permitting. You have a very special and rare car there and like you say if you can afford to keep it and build something else as well, thats the way to go. thumbup
