Very nice. You will be the talk of the town and will still have plenty of good driving weather ahead of you. Go slow and get a feel for her. She will bite every chance that she gets.

What a beauty. Looking at the registration plate she is well named. Go slow in getting to know her because she will be one vicious beast, and check the age of the tyres as they don't stay good for many years.

I was wondering who'd be the lucky new owner of this Cobra!
Congrats!
You really went head first in Cobra land!

Hmm....quite nice
Heed the above advice and take it easy; learn how it behaves before it teaches you a lesson.
I'm sure you know all of this anyway.
Magnificent looking car!

Cheers!!

This Kirkham didn’t happen to have been in Germany a few years ago, did it?
It looks very familiar.

Congratulations, that is a beauty and you will really enjoy it. But as stated above, take you time and get used to the car and it's quirks before you try to go to fast.

Congratulations on your purchase. It looks like a gorgeous -- and somewhat famous -- Cobra.

Ditto, on taking it easy at first. Truly one of the prettiest black Cobras out there. Many Miles & Smiles left for you and your new Cobra.

Be sure your hat is snugged down tightly if you're wearing one :-)
