anyone know this car ?

It's a square tube CR like Mine, Gav, Mizzi, Phil N and a bunch of others on here. They have a proven track record. You probably cant go far wrong with that one.

I have a cobra that is brand new (ready to register) with engineers report, but I can't drive it. It is run often, polished and wrapped up again. Would I sell it?, maybe, but I had it built for me, it was fun, exciting and stressful all in one. I have spent lots of money and time, and will never get it back. Just like my kids.

But if I sold it, I wouldn't want to hear all the things about it that others don't like (just like my kids). So I just look at it from afar and continue to dream and be happy. It's got an auto, it's brand new ready to go.
I might just give it to my son.

im sure he would appreciate it all my dad left me was a rusted out vw beetle but it made a great buggy that myself and his grandson got many yrs of enjoyment out of till it died .
people buy build cobras for many reasons some to drive on nice sunny days some to race and some just sit in garages to be admired . I don't think there is any right or wrong reason to own one and just having the privilege to own is special in itself I believe.

I am pretty sure that this is Mark Runnal's old car.

It was a factory built car and very well looked after.

I'm guessing around 2010? Greg on here has one of the earlier round tube cars he can probably answer that question.

I can tell this is a square tube by the lack of rear wheel offset in the pics. It'll be running the AU Falcon rear end.

Round Tube CR Chassis came out about March 2008. The body is the same but the chassis and suspension are different. (Custom A arms with VZ hubs on front and Shortened VE LSD Rear).
