Where/how would someone go about repairing a car like that? I feel really bad for the owner. That car was Sweet!

We are lucky to have several experienced repair shops in the UK where ali can be formed and repaired. One I know of has all the necessary panels hanging from the roof, ready to slap into place - the car's probably as good as new by now!

If originality is all-important, (as if!) I've seen Cobras repaired having suffered even worse damage purely by pulling the original metal back into shape - the joy of aluminum, it has a 'memory'. In one case, a rear wing had been flattened to an inch-wide block. A genuine artisan simply pulled and re-shaped the same metal back into its original form - amazing.

For those of us on the West side of the Atlantic (pond), wing is fender.
