Ian, I also saw this car in Jim's workshop when it was getting built and if I recall the drumer from prodigy owned it.

Hi Tony

Did you own it back then? Must have been at least 13 years ago.

The Guildford cruise was awesome at that time. Filled both car parks.

I remember that one. I was building my Contemporary at the same time, so I was down at Jim's place on a regular basis. It has Ford 460 in it, but I don't recall the owner being anyone famous though.
I did a couple of shows with Jim and we took the yellow car to each one.
Jim was a bit of a rogue and we sort of fell out, which was about par for the course with Jim.

No, but my car came from Lambes Ct. If you look at Google maps I think the Cobra was outside the guys garage when the satelite pic was taken. Lower left arrow and I'm sure there was a Cobra as I drove there, by the top arrow.

Small world!! I lived in Bayswater drive when mine was on the road and later moved to Plomley Close after it had died. Second turning off Long Catlis.

Dave, I don't recall the owner being famous, but then the original owner ran out of money and took delivery. It later reappeared at Jim's and did the show circuit and demos. Was a deal struck? I was led to believe that the final owner wasn't the guy that commissioned it.

Only living up the road in Forest Hill I used to drop in from time to time to see what was going on, usually not a lot.

My dad was very friendy with Jim and was always hovering around his workshop even when I was still at school. I lived locally in Shirley at the time.
