I doubt Pirelli is any too pleased with the "Goodyears" on that! Is the white letters the option tire?

..And he`s waiting for a gap in traffic.... I thought he made gaps where there aren`t any!

I don't think I'd trust the rear end on that....

Even more depressing - he's got another one in the garage!! (As you do....one needs a spare)

I always rooted for Lewis, and was really chuffed when he won the World Championship in Dubai, but now he has just gone atmospheric in my estimation! Go Lewis!

   The Register has both of these Cobras as ex-works 27th of June 1966, but the black one is recorded as Silver!
   I`m assuming he needs 2 so he has one at home in Switzerland, and one in the U.S, with raging success comes convenience!
   Maybe this thread should migrate to the T.D forum...

Just noticed the rear lights on this '66 are very much like the Mk IV set up. To achieve same retro look on a later car, you can replace the amber rear lens with a red Lucas 692 (as existing stop tail). If you spray the inside of the (red) lens with green glass dye, it will miraculously flash amber. It's a trick used on modern cars that don't display amber rear indicators lenses any more.
