Any "original" classic Cobra Owners ever have a similar incident?
Y! SPORTS
Meet Edmund Burgess, of Lavenham in the United Kingdom. As Autoblog relates, Mr. Burgess was driving his 1924 Bugatti Type 13 in the Prescott Speed Hill Climb in Gloucestershire. The brakes apparently failed, the car rolled, and, well, Mr. Burgess was quite literally lucky to escape with his skull intact.

Like the guy who crashed an original Daytona Coupe at Laguna Seca last August?

I think the driver was fine, not a rollover (without a roll bar!) like the Bugatti. Don't know how he didn't get hurt worse.
Haven't seen a video but wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't one out there. I think the driver was a Walton son?

Wow! As sad is that is to see, it would be even SADDER if these cars weren't out on tracks from time to time! |
