I remember seeing that report on the Cobra Replica Club website back in November of last year, but hadn`t made the link to this car. I was hoping that a tree fell on it whilst parked, as it certainly doesn`t look like a surviveable incident, side impact bars or not. Horrible horrible shame.
I have just spoken to the seller, and they will not give the chassis number to anyone other than the purchaser; with much interest from outside of the UK, where the car could be rebuilt & re-registered with the same chassis number, unlike in the UK, they don`t want it quote: "plastered all over the internet".
