Just wondering how tall the average Cobra is from the ground to the top of the windscreen

I think from memory they are around 1.2m high. Don't have one close at hand at the moment to measure.

Definitely higher than my GT40, it measures a mere 94cm.

Oh hang on, Mike Murphy's Cobra would have a pretty small measurement from ground to the top of the windscreen.

Greg

Seems you have about 100mm to play with to 1.4m - heaps!!

With my sons rapidly approaching the domestic car parking scenario, I might need two hoists!! But then street parking is cheaper and it will be their cars too!

Ciao
