Some people like top, but I like the bottom....ahem..

Ta!

They are Cobra Nogaro with Pasha cloth and no Cobra logo.

Thanks for all the positive comments.

The car was bought as in the top photo and was a nice job, but not to my tastes. I knew of the Derek Bell car and so set out to pay tribute to that one but not copy it.

The car has had the sunroof, aircon, stereo, rear wiper, rear seats, original heavy electric seats, headlight washer and original carpeting all removed.

Engine and transmission is standard but has been rebuilt (by prior owner at Paul Anderson). Dampers are Leda adjustable, again rebuilt. Standard brakes but all new. Being a GT it is manual, has an LSD, shorter shift and a bit more power than an S4.

Clubsport wheels with new Conti tyres. Seats are Cobra Nogaro made to order with the Pasha trim as a nod to the earlier cars. Half roll cage, extinguisher, Willans harnesses. X pipe exhaust....

Its a lot of fun and pretty quick and as nimble as one of these can probably be.
