I am a tad obsessed with Cobras. There is nothing cooler on wheels. I will own one at some point. It's simply a matter of time. If there are any owners on here please say Hi... especially if you are in the South East of the UK! 
I'm leaning heavily towards a Gardner Douglas for their stiff space frame central spine chassis. Although I am open to other ideas. I'd love to prep one for some weekend fun and light track use. So maybe a cage and a hard top, plus some decent dampers, brakes, etc. Rather how my current car is set up.
If anyone has advice on who is respected for setting these up, modifying them, servicing or supply them please let me know.
Thanks all

Thunder Road Cars looks great for the track mods. Some of those really nail what I'm dreaming about. More go than show.
Although some of the alloy body cars do look amazing. I'm not sure how practical these would be for stone chips though. Thoughts?
Also are billet suspension arms a gimmick? Wouldn't steel be better suited to last longer? Especially with the state of our roads, or with track use?
I presume Gardner Douglas would be the "go to" choice for my intentions?

Thanks Jon.
I was at a car show today, drooling over a continuation GT40 by CVA. Plus a fair few Cobras and a lovely Ultima. One of the guys I was chatting to had both a Cobra and a GT40. He rated the mid engined beast as being far superior in the handling. Certainly interesting chatting and looking over some real world cars.
I have to say I also adore the GD T70. Broadley Automotive creations also look amazing.

I loved the Ultima I looked over the other day. I think the interior was absolutely perfect: bare alloy floor with rivets (cool as hell aero look), black leather seats and dash, black cage, just spot on. Even the storage bins in the sills were amazingly useful.
The only slight minus I guess for me, they look rather high tech and modern. I quite like a vintage vibe. Also they are pretty darn wide! Although amazingly cool and well built. I'd take one over any Ferrari / Lambo / banker mobile.
