Not sure if any Cobras were written off over here in road accidents. You may recall the late David Purley totalling his car one foggy November at Paddock Hill bend, Brands Hatch. He told me that he cut it up and threw it in a skip. I told him that it climbed out again and restored itself......you just can't keep a good Cobra down!!!

My Dad 'broke' CS2131 at Crystal Palace, following the rule that "...if someone spins infront of you, aim for where they are, `cos when
you get there, they`ll be gone..." but when he got there, so were they, so severe avoiding action took him off the track & stopping against a sleeper, knocking the front suspension 'A' post back an inch & effectively ending his racing career due to the cost of repair.

Not the British way old chap. Stiff upper lip and all that. If AC had had a character like Shelby at the helm, some of the 'overlooked' aspects of the supply agreements would,I`m sure, have been not allowed to slip.
