The nicest Cobra I've ever had the privilege to drive is Ned Scudder's AC 289, COX 6111.
The car has plenty of power, handles like a dream, looks incredible, and you can actually hear your passenger speaking to you. The perfect blend of the Mark III body and chassis and the small block engine. So if I ever get around to having a modern reliable Cobra, it will probably be one of the Kirkham Mark III style cars with a small block,
or the FIA style with the coil spring suspension.
