Cobra replica -

[Palfrem]

Windmill Collection

Scroll down to the first car.

What does the team think?

I might go for a look....

It will look better than it drives. Sorry, I don't go for replica Cobra's they are usually rather poor.

Sierra based, so presumably just a 2.8 V6. The only attraction of a Cobra rep. to me would be a big V8, but per DM's comment the drive would almost certainly be disappointment.

I'll stay home then.

It looked nice - summer evenings, Sunday lunch drives, wind in what's left of my hair....

Buy an MR2 or SLK then.

Could you fit a V8 into a Caterham ?

No V8 no buy

Westfield did a V8 version of their '7' (SEiGHT) with factory engine capacities up to 5.2 litres.

Yep, well you can fit them in a Westfield. I've been in one with a "high" performance Rover V8. In a word, scary

In a word, scary

So it's an option then ?

Well, the foot-well space is reduce but who the heck cares

Other folks who were not used to ulta high performance cars came back shaking like a leaf and uttering the odd swear word..

p.s. the westfield was only blatting up and down a few roads in central london (hyde park area..)

p.p.s I was cool once I found something to hold on to...
