Default help identify this cobra please

I am new here and must admit...I have been lurking for years. I am getting serious about finally buying a cobra...leaning toward Superformance.

I saw this unidentified cobra in my neighborhood the other evening and thought it was amazing. I am unable to identify the manufacturer. I'm sure one you know it in an instant. Any help? The hood had no rivets like many of the Superformance's I have seen....here are some pics, they are crappy from a phone.

thanks!

I can't identify it but you might want to post on the capitalareacobraclub .com web site as it is probably one of our members. If I had to guess it would be a Unique.

I think you may be right, the hood/scoop look like what is on uniques web site and the dash was all carbon fiber and it did not have the counter-clockwise speedo.

I will post to capital....good idea, thanks!!

I would say no to FFR as well since the cowl overhang is too far for FFR as they are close to flat....Door also has the transition where it meets the dash unlike FFR and the roll bar is NOT FFR. Hurricane?

Wrong tail light for a Backdraft and no rivits on the scoop. What's up with the oil cooler lines?

I second the Backdraft color scheme. Bronzemist, I believe it is called.

The tail lights and door seam do match Hurricane, but the cowl opening for the oil cooler looks off from all the HMS cars I am familiar with.

Probably should move this to the lounge and cook up some popcorn. We can start a poll and then the owner can clue us in.
