Pete,
Let me tell you - you do not want to rent it to me. I thought would have heard by now about my off roading..
ferociousfish,
...yes I'm precious about my car. Seriously though, I think there would be an issue for insurance. I know I have nominated drivers on my policy.
..coming to think of it one of them is my 21 year old son..
Jnr Cobra,
You may have a better chance renting a Cobra as a passenger. 'ferociousfish' is 100% correct the Cobra is not a car that you just jump into and drive.
I have had the opportunity of driving a number of both left and right hand drive Cobras and I really have not been in two cars the same.
Mid last year, I drove across America and back in a GT40 - Route 66 - and had the opportunity to drive a Cobra in anger at an event in London, Ohio. I quickly handed the car back as I did not want to damage it.
Just my $0.02 worth. Again perhaps consider going as a passenger. I have done this for $100 to Ronald McDonald House for a 3 hour trip.
I think a renter Cobra to drive would also be pretty ordinary if one was available.
Again good luck in your search.
