Is that a kit that you built?

It's my dream to build a kit cobra with a v8 and side exit exhausts.

One day...

No I've bought it done.. But it's something I would love to do, but we have a two year old and twins on the way!
So no chance of that.. Just tinkering, polishing and driving!

That's correct! Had a 3.5 TVR wedge this time last week, same engine there abouts..nice car, but this is a different league.

Nice.

Did you get it from Sovereign?

No but I've been looking at Sovereign
For a while, them and Hallmark, but bought this private.
The underside suspension etc is almost in as good a condition as the outside.
Gonna paint the chassis, plenum and rocker covers in blue.
As part of the detailing I wanna carry out.

I think it's a criminal offence to put the hood up on a cobra.

It should be if it's not. Lovely car, horrible roof. hide it. burn it. anything, but don't put it up (even in the rain)

Ha ha... Yeah I know what ya mean.. However I love the Le Mans hard tops!
May have to invest at some point!

That photo really makes you appreciate how far back you sit in a Cobra. Nice one op

Yeah ya pretty much sit on the back wheels! Greeeeat!

[TVRIK]

Not really took any vid as yet.. Got one panning round the car, but it doesn't really capture the sound.
I'll see if I can upload it.

Indeed it is, like the majority.. You find an original you find a multi millionaire!

[TVRIK]

The dark red one? Look more like an Ace, but pretty sure it has a cobra badge on the front?!

I had the same engine in my chimaera, sounds fantastic, enjoy

Big fan if TVR's, I traded my wedge to get this cobra,
What a great sound that has as well, if I could have kept it and had both I would.
