Very nice! I remember when we had one of these in the bodyshop I worked at, he had hit a tree and split it in half at the back. So did a full respray and painted stripes on it, fitted side exit exhausts and a new set of wheels. Looked really good when it was done.

I am soooooooo jealous!!! I have always promised I would have a Cobra replica one day, I couldn't afford a real one. I think I would prefer a V8 over the jag engine, but I bet it sounds awesome.

AC Cobra, nice :D Mike did tease me, saying you got an American muscle car, which it isn't, but nonetheless, good find!! Got a model of a Shelby Cobra 427, near enough the same colour as yours with the 3 white stripes down the middle, looks awesome.

What's the plans? :thumb

Plans are giving it a good clean and see what bits need rechroming and going to the American hotrod show on Sunday at beauliue to see what the trade stands have :)

This has a bigger engine than most muscle cars have and pretty much a one of a kind engine in this ;)

Nice mate :thumb

Going to have to drop round at some point to have a look, the Cav will be missed but just think how many problems that car gave you...Spent more time in the garage of busted than it did on the road...

Now about that machine polishing..... :lol: :thumb
Free Parking is a bonus, leaving my Cav in a carbon dust filled carpark is not.....
