Just as this car achieved a unique beauty and awe-inspiring nature, I’m sure Sol was many times that such a uniquely beautiful man to his family and friends. Many condolences for a great loss.

Over time, if there’s anything we can learn about the cause of Cobra accidents, it can serve to help keep other Cobra owners safe ongoing. They don’t have to be fatal accidents either, this unfortunately was. Particularly if a part failure, which I know often isn't determined as these don’t get forensics like a plane crash.

Perhaps a stuck pedal, or a tie rod failure, a steering joint failure, a broken rear half shaft, a blowout with no scatter shield, etc., etc. Were there current projects with specific road testing underway that may highlight an issue for others to be aware of and consider in their planning.

Again, many condolences, very sad...

Brent
