Natural selection for me. I grew up around English cars, my uncle was a mechanic for Jag, Rolls and all things english. There was always some kind of sports car around the house that "needed work". Get it running and you can drive it was the theme. Fords were the "daily drive" of choice. The Cobra was the epitomy of "english" sports car and "Ford" all in one package. The three top cars I wanted back in the "salad days" were based largely on price. The Austin Healey 3000 (which never was "cheap"), the Sunbeam Tiger (HARD to find) and the Cobra (it's price was out of the question)! I finally got the Austin Healey (still have it), never did find a Tiger (yet) and am now looking for my next Cobra. Which will be a Classic Roadster (the Austin is small enough, ha ha).
