Not from Lewis Hamilton.

He does have two.

Some recent pictures of Lewis and his Cobra:

Nice pics

Lewis' family had the big bucks before he started his F1 career. Takes money to make money.

I'm sure the Starbursts taste better than the Sunbursts although the the Sunbursts might be better for you.

What's up with the photo of my hinge cover?

Car is not as nice now after the two butt dents in the aluminum!

Lewis's family did not have big bucks - the exact opposite is the case. He grew up in a council house in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, U.K. (basically cheap housing rented from the city). He is now the highest paid sportsman in Britain and earned his way to the top on sheer undeniable ability. Good for him having the taste to own and very much appreciate his 'two girls' as he calls them. Glad to see he chose street Cobras - good taste!

Fantastic shots and they say a lot about the enduring appeal of these cars. Some members on here were wondering not that long ago if the appeal of the cobra will die with the current generation. Here we have a young guy at the absolute top of the pinnacle of motor sport who could afford any car he desires, and what does he buy?

Exactly what I was thinking, Legless. Particularly interesting in this case because this fellow is also intimately familiar with the most technologically advanced, sharpest-handling cars in this solar system - yet he gravitates to the iconic epitome of old-school brute force and bare bones muscle. Even outside of our circle of Cobra enthusiasts there evidently exists some sort of universal appeal to Cobras - something in the combination of looks, performance, reputation and overall execution that appeals to car folk at a base level regardless of age or background.

Agreed

Any car guy with money wants a Cobra, not for the car, but for the investment, it's a collectors item, like all collector cars... Lewis is a car guy no doubt, but the majority of these type of cars are to make money, **** half the people don't even drive them, POSERS...

Spot-on Buzz.
As well as the "old school brute force", there's appeal in the fact that Cobras and other 'pre-technology' cars do what they do well without the aid of electronics and sensors and nanny devices. More likely to crash it because the gadgets aren't going to step in and put a boundary on your fun, but given the choice I'll take 'simple and mechanical and reliable' rather than 'complex and electronic and eventually unreliable' any time.
Driving my 39 year old Alfa is just so involving and so much fun (which is why I still have it after all these years).
Cheers,
Glen

I would like to see him put the car thru its paces on a track. Even Goodwood would be cool.
