8 years ago When my father and I started our restoration of a Cobra replica many told us that it was too far gone and to give up. We were two carpenter/ contractors that had hardly changed
oil. But with determination, some coin, and the help of local car club members we restored a fire damaged Cobra replica. It's been on the road 4 years, 4000miles and I love the car.
Some of the reviews are spot on.
The cars are sensory overload to drive. You feel everything in the wheel, every bump every curve. The throttle is very sensitive to input, you press they go, fast. When the back end starts to come out, it will pass you before you realized it was coming.
Then you have the cold, the wind, the smells
I have started a drive with my winter coat, toque, and gloves. By the time I got home, sun burn and dehydration. Best drive ever.
It's exhausting but it's the best drivers car ever.
