It is bigger than a Cobra, has much more leg room; I think 6.5 inches longer and about 4 inches breiter. If ytou want to register my Cobra I can gladly send you photos of if you give me your email. My email is hinsel@tnn.net . I have a tonneau cover, side curtains, but no hood. can you tell me where I can get a complete soft top.
Best wishes,

Hasan,
I have the registry now as Tom is busy with other projects for the time being. I would be glad to add your car to the registry and send you a complete copy. If you will look at the outside of the frame in front of the right front suspension you will find the VIN number stamped in the metal. It should also have this number on the driver's side door on a label fixed there. It may have been removed when imported into Turkey, but the VIN on the frame is difficult to destroy or cover up. You can contact me at
mduke8@gmail.com with the VIN information, more details on your car (such as how long you have had it and any ownership history you have on it, photos and details on how it came to have the GM motor).
The top is difficult. Since the cars are no longer made, the source of the tops is not known. Classic Roadster II used the same top, but they are no longer making their car or selling parts. There is faint hope the legal problems of CR II will be settled and they will be back in business. Until then, if ever, you can try looking at the CR II forum here on Club Cobra and posting a message asking if any of the CR II owners have one for sale. I have seen one or two change hands in the past three years. The factory cost was about $900 as I recall. Best wishes on finding one. DV or Double Venom (Ed Combs) on that forum is a great source for CR II parts and info. He might be able to give you some leads in your hunt for a top.
