It was a good honest car, and from what I remember, took out a few awards. Not a convincing selling point but one I remember was "best sounding Cobra" at the nats one year.

I thought it was the same car but as the name on the add didnt match I wasnt sure - hadnt realised they had sold it.

Dont knock the best sounding award - a well known former club president with one of the best sounding cobra Ive ever heard would love that trophy in his cabinet. All he listens to these days though are air cooled flat fours though....

Yeah I know the car as well, I agree its a very neat and tidy car, well put together and finished. I looked at it about two or three years ago. I wasn't aware the car had been sold either. It was sort of on the market for a year or two but I don't think they actually advertised it for sale. Its much closer to red than bronze in the flesh. If Steve and Ursula aren't the current owners the new owner would have only had it a short time, probably less than a year and half.

I could stand to be corrected, but I'm 99% sure it was Steve's.

Too many co-incidences: RMC, Bronze + stripes, 351 on gas, auto, white halibrands, central coast area.

Steve ran URS-351 number plate but could have kept them when sold.

Last entry at the nats looks like 2009.

I'll through some old photo's at home, the escutcheon around the side pipe penetration should give it away.

The new NSW web site has omitted the old "owners" gallery. There would have been a shot of it in there.


Edit: Found the old Members gallery - not in there.
