quote:Originally posted by nikbj68 I had a good look at this car at Oulton Park last year, and the driver told my father & me that the owner has several original Cobras, of which this is not one! As the Bradburn ad says, it was built in the late 70`s by Emilio Garcia, but it certainly has an Ali body, and is indistinguishable (to my eyes, anyway)from a MkII. Goes like stink, too!!! (at one point 4 seconds per lap quicker than 2nd place man, but won the race by 4 seconds!)

Yeah... so I wonder what is referred to in the Bradburn spiel: "...the title and what were believed to be remains of a crashed car having been earlier purchased by Chris..." Aaah, the joys of the Cobra, eh? [:p]
quote:Originally posted by jellison Ah - Good stuff - as it came out and raced in the Thoroughbreds a few weeks back - It won - Roy McCarthy was close to getting the lead back when he had a tank slapper and cam in on next lap (knackered from Cancer treatment) - good race though. So. I am glad it is at least a faithful replica / copy built in exactly the same way as and original (cart springs etc and original type chassis) and not some plastic, spacfreamed modern copy - I just wanted to check
