Hi folks,
more news on my SPF: it is certainly the only one in the Republic of Ireland and she got her Irish "passport" yesterday - her Irish title
She has been titled as a "Ford AC Cobra", first registered May 1965 ...
That means she is a vintage, exempt from all tests !
To answer a few questions:
>>
But I'll bet the price of gasoline made that an expensive trip.
Wasn't too bad, because I had to take it easy anyhow, for weather-reasons ... She did approx 18 mls to the (imperial !) gallon, which is very economic for an engine that size, I reckon anyway.
>>
I'll just bet you were the only Cobra on the boat, and probably the only one you saw on the trip home?
Yep, haven't seen another one since
>>
Was it a boat of a hover craft for the water portion of the trip
The ferry from Belgium (Brugge) to England (Kingston-upon-Hull) is a standard RoRo ferry, travel time 14 hours over night, nice and comfy. The fast ferry from Wales to Ireland is a catamaran-ferry, actually the largest one world-wide ! And it takes only 100 mins for the crossing from Holyhead to Dublin.

I know #2370's previous owner purchased a copy of my MKIII wiring diagram. If he included it with the car purchase...
Yes, he did ! And we are still in contact regularily
You can find my email address in my public profile
Thanks for the offer, I'm delighted and will tell Tom B, the previous owner
Well lads, you know where I am and if you ever make it to Ireland and want to hear a big roooaaar - don't be shy, get in touch !
