I saw a Boss DRB Cobra yesterday, it was the first of those chassis produced.

The owners are bringing it down to the nationals.

They used BA Boss Engine, original auto, orginal ECU, BA Steering Column, BA fuel pump etc etc. Uses all the original loom etc. So very easy to fit. The only thing they had to do was get a reverse value fuel guage. Still uses Jag suspension front & rear.

A custom plenum was made for it so that a couple of pods could be fitted at the rear. It has fresh air ducted through the bonnet scoop, through the inside of the bonnet, to the rear pods, which are sealed off. Also had a complete painted cover over messy parts of the engine. Looked very neat.

The engine is just huge in the engine bay, but sounds great. The auto has nice quick shift arrangement, so is not too bad.

The car has original BA ABS fitted, traction control, cruise control etc. Uses the original cruise control buttons, but they have been very well integrated into the interior.

Just watch delivery times with DRB, there is quite often lengthy delays.

Harrison also do Boss version. And Harrison version mounts the engine much further back, so a much easier fit and balance. Harrison can be supplied with engine mounts to suit 302/351, Ford modular, Ford Boss, Lexus & LS1.

Classic Revival & Harrison manuals sound like they are similiar quality, DRB would have the best manual in my opinion.

Also watch the body shape, all 3 of these cars have very different body shapes.

Personally I would recommend Harrison, the focus & support that Warwick & his family gives to Cobra's, customers and the club is amazing.
