Cobra build on TV circa 2000

[zekespeed]

I don't think anyone believes me that there was a series featuring a kit Cobra built by a female host/mechanic/race driver and a helper. It was on History or Discovery, IIRC. I have looked and looked, no love. It was not "A Car is Born" with Mark Evans. I first saw Mark Evans when he restored the XKE.

I'm not trolling. I'm Zeke on various Porsche forums but now out of the game.

Now what's bothering me at my age (late 70's) is that the object TV car maybe was not in fact a Cobra. So, does anyone remember a skinny brunette that built a car on TV back then? Was it a Cobra or something else?

I think everyone here knows the Cobra is the biggest selling kit maybe only eclipsed by the various VW floorpan kits/buggies. And IDK about that.


Note: I joined here to help solve this mystery that has been in the back of my mind for years. I used to watch all those shows like "Shade Tree Mechanic" with Dave Bowman and Sam Memmolo. They helped me relaunch an interest in working on cars that has grown to a couple dozen since I was 50. All gone now.

In an earlier life I worked for Mickey Thompson and others and was on a F5000 pit crew. I had Corvettes and VW's back in that day (the 60's).
