Had the car out to fettle today, so took a few snaps while I was there. It's a fake cobra, should be on the road later this month once I've finished the last few bits.

That's one tidy looking fake Cobra!

What's it based on? Is it a standard RV8 or is it 'tweaked'?

I have to agree that the colour is great too.

It makes a nice change to see a cobra with out stripes, it looks fantastic and nicely finished too. Bet you can't wait for some decent weather!

Must be a similar one mate, this hasn't been on the road in the last six years.

MOT next thursday, though!

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. Makes the sore knuckles worth it.
