Ah sister club to our own DandyMog

I like it

Kin car looks great, personally would find the interior a bit ....... Dandy, but then I had a purple E55 with the AMG purple and blue interior so not really one to comment

Kin,
I'm saying this as a huge fan of Cobs( real and good rep) - and even more Ace Bristols but I really do think the colour is a secondary consideration. If you have the build quality, sound and the pull of that engine, then in my book, it's all there
Congrats.

PS Mind you, in a perfect world, have a look at this ( and no, I didn't enquire about the price!):

There were some stunning early ACs at LMC - while I love the Cobra, the early ACs (without the extended wheel arches) before Shelby's intervention have my vote.

G, the AC Bristol you linked to is about perfect imho

Simon,
Couldn't agree more. I've only driven the Bristol-engined Ace once. That was a very long time ago and funnily enough because the guy from whom my father bought our house had one in the garage.
It really was a beautifully- balanced car.
I've also had a couple of experiences with the Ford Zephyr -engined incarnation but it didn't quite match up to the Bristol engine.
regards,
G
PS Mind you, I wouldn't say no to an Allard J2 if the car fairy offered me one!!

I think you and I have far more things in common than we care to admit

So where's the link to the Dandymob then... LOL

Hi Gerwyn, I have always been a fan of Cobra since the early 80s, but somehow I've always ended up with some other cars, partly because of my percieved build quality of a kit car in my mind(probably true at the time )

Thanks to Simon who recently started a classic car thread, i started to look at alternative to quench my desire for a half decent toy in my garage again. I looked at a number of +8s initially, but they were all short door model, and then I remember Cobra...did fair amount of searches on Cobra replicas and to cut a long story short....I ended up with GD MK3.

Gardner Douglas is considered to be one of the best

I must admit that I am extremely tempted by G350 , a very individual car in its own right

I like that! Price??

nice dash layout. what platform is it built on?

I believe its based on their racing backbone chasis, if you download their brochure from the link, it'll explain everything
