The green one had a very nice 1275cc but I doubt it was a spec that would have justified Lynn Rogers being involved. I must confess to liking all the different Cobras, for different reasons. My issue with the Wasp is that they were trying to include a detail they didn't have room for and it just looks too small and cramped. The initial styling was a great success in my opinion. There was a complete kit sold cheap 18 months ago, I wish I'd bought it!
Patrick. Here are some images of my Porsche Carrera 3.0 litre powered McRae 550 Spyder...
And here are a few more taken during the Dunlop Targa. It was a bloody fast car!
Patrick, my third NZ built car was the Almac Sabre S2. I'm sure you have plenty of images of these, but here are a few you may not have seen.
Cheers, John
And finally here are some more recent images of the Sabre...
Totally agree. cobra is fantastic BUT needs the size to pull it off. Use too much flares and nose on a tiny car like the Ibis and it just could not pull it off. We went through many nose designs and I recall many hours of sweat trying to come up with something that would take height of a mini motor without being too long in front overhang or having huge gaping nose. I put a cross bar through the grill and two tone paint on mine to brake up the mass of the nose opening.Originally Posted by Paul Wilkinson
