Did he REALLY think it was an original "Cobra???"
Sadly, I think he did, he is a bike guy and only bought the Cobra as he knew what one looked like (shape of 1) and he thought it seemed cheap for a real one so bought without doing home work.

I think he paid around $100k.

I have not seen the car, and I probably never wll as it is near Sydney, and I am about 4000kls drive distance away.

A mate (through another car forum) asked me while I was at another marque car show last weekend, as he knew I was into Cobra's
