It was a rockin' car. The colors were actually British Racing Green (Jaguar paint BRG) and some yellow from Mercedes on the stripes. It was a combo available from Shelby/HST.
I loved it, my wife hated it (it was too hot, too smelly, too windy, too noisy, too uncomfortable, too too. Put too infront of anything objectionable and it was to her). We've been married 37 years now, so she did have some say. I loved it, and she would have let me keep it if we could have had (1) a toy that we could both agree to, and (2) her car in the garage (we have a two car garage). Tried to sell the house to get a three car, and that didn't work due to the sucky economy, so I sold the Cobra and got the Ford GT - it has regular three point seat belts, air conditioning and a place to plug the charger for the ipod. I forgot to tell her that it has a luggage compartment the size of a make up case (except make up will melt if you put it in there
)
Of all the cars I've ever owned, letting the Cobra go will be my saddest moment.
P.S. I have been taking pictures for almost 50 years now, and in college got to judge other student's and at my camera club. Those are good shots! I especially liked the billboards shot. Years ago that would have been a silkscreen print. If you were trying to emulate it you nailed it.
