original cobra

[Ian D c]

Was filming for the beeb at my second home today (Beaulieu Motor Museum)
i live just round the corner. They had a big black 65 cobra which is a new exhibit the PR girl said she cant say who owned it but it was heavily insured
and sat next to Mark Knopflers 246 Dino & a 67 GT40.
over half the cars are on loan and dont get driven very ofen what a waste.:'(

WOT - No Pics ?
I never go to Beaulieu without a camera - mind you I don't go too often. about once a year in September for the Autojumble, otherwise it seems too expensive.

I believe the Cobra and the GT40 are owned by the same person. I have also heard that the Cobra is a lightweight fibreglass version, but I will probably be stood corrected on this.

Is this not the same as building a replica and then using it to go to the pub occassionaly and Stoneleigh once a year. I think it is a crying shame that cars are not used for their original purpose.

No i didn't take my camera with me, not my stills camera any way i was working.
I think some owners probably forget they even have them let alone drive them ,
not all rich/celebs owners are like Nick Mason or Rowan Attkinson.
And yes it is quite expensive for what is there .

Oh no, Not another Cobra obsessed cameraman on the forum

Simon do the other guys know that thier tv licence fee if they have one will be
helping to finance my cobra.

Just checked out the beaulieu site:

Totaly agree with you Rob , but how do we get these guys out.
Also the less you use them , the more they go wrong. In the last
three years iv'e done 9000 miles , Just a note my Val wanted to
waste money on DIY today, i told her we must spend more wiseley.
Like on the Cobra , now iv'e got to cook my own dinner.

HAPPY BLASTING
