Congrats Kin, love Cobra-replicars and had an LR Roadsters Ram Cobra some years ago which I enjoyed - side-pipes of course, though ear-plugs were de rigeur! smile The Ram chassis was designed by Dr Adrian Reynard, with Jaguar suspension components and a tuned Ford Small Block (we had a Ford Dealership at the time so no non-authentic Chevy engines around!).

Hope you enjoy yours as much as we enjoyed ours Kin. flag flag flag

P.S. Much as the quality looks excellent, not sure I could live with that interior though.

It really was a beautifully- balanced car.


POA from Fiskens means you wouldn't get much, if any, change out of £250k I reckon Gerwyn. frown

Have you looked at the Allard J2 Replica Denis Glavis markets Gerwyn? Roger Allard (no relationship to Sydney) has done a proper job, according to Denis and it is a fitting replica of the originals. No idea on price, but I guess it won't be cheap!

Hi Brian,
Yes, i'd go with what you say about Fiskens- hence my reluctance to ask the price! ( Cue 'poor academic' sob story hide)

I've not seen one of Roger Allard's cars- the J2X MKII -in the metal but the one person I know who has tells me it's really well finished and specc'd. it certainly looks the part:

Don't know if you've seen this?

Yes, I ended up looking at all the stuff on Denis's website. I intend to call in and have a look when we are over there in September 2010. thumbs

Not had a chance to wash the car, but I'll post up pics sent from its previous owner, i think I've probably got one of the very best cobra around apart from the colour, the elderly couple have to sell due to heart condition, the car was set up as GT as they regularly drive to Europe, it has specially built hood...the whole hood can be removed altogether.

The bespoke interior was crafted by someone who works for Bentley notworthy It even has matching luggage top quality leather were used and marine grade alcantera



The cob does look much better in the fresh than the photos, I'll see how I get on with it, and may decide on factory built cobra with LS engine later.

The cob is very fast and it sounded Awwwwesome notworthy love



love the colour and the car, watch out when reversing for high kerbs though..... tongue2
Have you given it a name yet?
It reminds me of candy floss so I guess "Flossy" ? winky
