David’s story wouldn't make much sense unless you were building or buying a Cobra replica in Melbourne back in the mid 90s.
I did indeed buy RC's original car (baby blue as seen in the photos).
As soon as it was registered many members of the Cobra car club said that it was one of Larries cars that David had copied.
Not that I care that much, but I know that this is quite close to David’s heart as Replica Autos was his bread and butter.
I can confirm David’s entire story. I did indeed find the tin lid under the fibreglass when cutting out for the fuel filler.
And I have since spoken to the man who did the body work and painted the car before David fobbed his mould, and seen his photos of the car.
I know a lot of people got burned when RC went under, but David did every thing right by me and I enjoyed the time he allowed me to work on my car in his workshop back in 1998.
The bloke can't spell and he's not the best business man in the world but he builds a good cobra and has passion.
