Do you know who owns this 1970s Daytona shell?

[Serpnt]

Just coming in to say they car Peter Brock was killed in was a Daytona Sports Car built in Dromana Victoria which is the same make that spookypt and I have and was not a DRB. From memory, it was Chassis number 6 of 13. The shells are not the same as the DRB shell eg. no side exhaust cut out, no relief for number plate.

Thanks Theo.

As a side note I asked RB the other day for a cost on building me a race coupe. Starts with a 3!

LOL

Hey guys, just found out original/true owner might be a guy named Andrew Clark...anyone heard of this guy?

[dunbar58]

Also told a guy named Warwick Harrison from Gold Coast/Nth NSW may have owned the molds after John Lintell...ring any bells?

[spookypt]

Warwick Harrison owned Cobra Kits. Top bloke and built many cobras and a few Daytonas. Imported some FFR Daytonas too. Dru's Daytona was a genuine Harrison not a FFR and Im sure it looked nothing like yours. I think Stiffy on here owns it now??

Andrew Clark?? There was an Andrew Someone (?) owned a business called Fabrication81 who bought Warwicks Business and afaik folded.

John Lintell is before my time.

Your best bet is to call Peter Ransome Todds Dad. He developed the business after Dennis afaik and may be the best person to know the story but if 2 of the 3 known registered cars are DRB's are already shown on this topic and Dennis doesnt know of them then you're going to be pushing $hit up hill for more intel I feel.

The other complete left fielder is to try and call Craig White from Absolute Pace as he pretty much is the encyclopedia of knowledge on the Australian Cobra scene but he generally doesn't answer his phone even when the Pope is ringing so good luck with that.

You could also Try Keith Fakrell from KCF RallySport Is A Vehicle Preparation Specialist as he is an old Northside dealer for DRB and many of the original Cobra Guys like Pete H and Ash B bought their kits off him. He may know something.
