  1. Yes, you are right it is a kit. I do not really know anything about them - other than I like the look of them. I didn't know if all Cobras are either classics or kits. But it seems they are still being made as modern cars to this day.

    Thanks !;)

    They do make this AC Cobra - and I would rather have it than a Ford Escort.

  3. In my youth I was a Ford Escort fan-boy, owned a Mk1 Mexico, a Mk2 1600 Sport and 2x Mk2 RS2000 (one base model, one Custom), despite that - no!

    The last tarmac rally I did here in South Australia there was a 'new build' Mk1 RS built to full rally spec complete with BDG etc, cost a fortune, but it was a great looking car and sounded superb! (I was the Nav in the yellow Mk2 RS2000)

  7. nope, i'm sorry but you are wrong - you need to be a lot more specific when posting about a "genuine cobra "
     
  8. No I don’t. As I said, they can fetch over a million. Deal with it :)

    In the meantime, carry on drooling over well and truly ragged £10k shitters :laughing:
     
  9. ..can't even trust you to re-quote your own statements correctly - ever thought about becoming a politician? ;)

    Mary the Fairy sed:- "Think they’re over a million aren’t they?"

    you need to swot up a bit more on AC Cobras instead of talking Cobblers, or add more to your statements for extra accuracy Toyah. :upyeah:

  10. Looks like a remote control car and I’ve no real interest in spending a 300k on an Escort. Didn’t find desirable when they were new, I was much younger then……

    It would need to be a Porsche 911 for me.

  13. No, but probably would if they made a MK2 RS1800
     
  14. Been there and done that, they really aren’t that good. My 944 turbo was way better than my 911. They have this image but aren’t that great to drive. A well sorted Escort would be a hell of a lot more fun. Not driven a post 2012 911 but they don’t seem to have changed much. There are far better options out there.

    For me I would be getting a GT40 replica if I had that sort of cash, always fancied one.

  15. I’m no car buff but I’m sure a genuine GT40 is North of 300k.

    Sometimes and for some the shape of something is of more importance than how quick it is.
     
  16. Not on your nelly as you'd buy a whole garage full of lovely motorcycles and have change, and of course if you like cars why not buy something speacil like a Porsche, Ferrari etcccccc.
