CAPE TOWN COBRA..they're everywhere
We got to our hotel in Cape Town, South Africa, this afternoon and there was a nice shiny dark gray Cobra sitting out front. I asked the Bellman about it and found that it was a left over from the Father's Day thingy they'd had. Couldn't be sure what make it was since it had a tonneau cover on so I couldn't see the interior, for any hints. Did have bolt on "Halibrands" so figured it wasn't a Superformance (unless it was a real early one. Seems I heard they came with some bolt ons). Did see pamphlets advertising to rent the car for $180/day+6¢/mile. Doesn't sound outrageous if you've never driven one and feel the need. The economy here in SA is not good so I imagine that keeps the rental price down. I'll pass, although the fender plaque indicated that it has a 383 SBC. Can't be all bad.
