HI Guys. My first time on the forum. Thinking of buying a Cobra replica for the summer. My Dad has always loved the car and so have I. Thought it would be nice if I could take him out in it for a bit of "cruising"

My question is a two parter. Firstly in your experience what make would be the best to go for. Dax, GD, Southern Roadcraft(?) etc... advice very welcome here! I have about 15k to spend.
Secondly. For the days during the English summer when it rains...that'll be most of them then! Does anyone supply Wet weather gear/hard tops for their cars, more importantly do they keep the rain out!
Thanks for your help
Andy
