   A very striking example - is your car the one used by AC in their CRS brochure?

The very same, 13k on the clock and still on its original tyres! The original 506 SP reg plate had been changed so I replaced it with one I could remember. Plenty of Dax and Crendons around for far more money than these.

   The guy who posts as 'Duggan'. Lovely car and good to see the number 13s have been removed [;)]. Given that there are only two of these in existence possibly difficult to put a value on it. It's been on the market for some time which may be due to the Lotus engine limiting its appeal??

Chafford-you might say the same for the Chevrolet engine in the MkIV.  Somehow not the same without a ford V8.

   I think you mean the Mk VI. The difference is that the Lotus V8 unfortunately sounds like a 4 cylinder unlike the LS3 V8 in the Mk VI and the new 378. I saw the latter today at Brooklands, it sounded superb!

Correct--MkVI.
   
   I was quite surprised that the Lotus engined car has not sold by now due to its rarity,condition and hardtop.
   
   I note the brochure on the CRS states AC Cobra "the real thing",Real pedigree,Real performance,Real personality,make a Real Noise!
   
   One thing is certain -CRS sell when advertised. 9505 (Bramley),9513(private-mine),and 2 redline  CRS 9512/9514,and the recent one 9528

Great to see another CRS in the club, as the last of the line its quite surprising how much interest they generate at events. (offsets all the thumbs up and toots from the Dax brigade [;)])

   Is that your car mixing it with the vintage Cobras at 1.42 in the video?

Yes, appalling weather but a good turn out - first time its been out in the rain![:0] thought I would try the new mohair hood in preparation for the classic Lemans trip. Maybe it's roasting on the other side of the Channel but we've got a four hour trip to get down to Portsmouth and would rather not have a soaked navigator in the cabin overnight! [;)]
   The only drawback being lack of space in the boot for party clothes especially as Keith wants us to dress a l'epoque.[8D]
   
   PS Gerry Hawkridge and his trimmer made a super job of it and the side curtains.

   Unfortunately, it is not [B)] ! Unusual bad weather here, with frequent showers... But as said, LMC previous editions were warm and shiny, so let's bet that it will be so once again !
   
   Ps: the very hot weather is the main reason for people to not respect the dress code there ... Must admit that you don't have the problem for Goodwood  [:D] !
