I wonder why you like black/black John..? But you have a point. I nearly went down that route on my car - one day maybe...
dkp - as well as being a good source of all Cobra parts, it might be worth contacting Gerry at Hawk Cars. He has just converted a MkIV to 'original' (MkIII-type) specifications, with the advantage of a longer pedal box, with the pedals mounted about 50cm forward and the seat mounted further back. It has a recessed wing-mounted fuel filler, original-style dashboard. The car has MkIV suspension, but with better springs, and the looks of an original - a Mk 3.5 ? I took a couple of photos yesterday and will try to load them here. It could be one of the best, most useable of all Cobras! Maybe. I look forward to trying it out some time soon.
