Sorry folks,

I dont know how to put this in as a link, but have a look at this fantastic Ford powerd Robnel Cobra replica.

I've always wanted to build one of these and "Robnel" was always regarded as the ants pants. (Though I dont know if they are still in business)

Regardless, this is a beautiful example of the marque.

one of if not the best cobra replica I have seen. Hopefully one day I can build one for myself with a BF XR8 or GT donk in it

Possible - but for many of the replicas the boss motor is too wide, and wont fit into the engine bay.

The car looks nice, but there are a few things that dont look quite right to me, but... very nice all the same.

Money on the fridge Mack.

for the Cobra.

Why does the name Peter.J.Mellor seem familair (the original owner).....

Ive been looking at buying a kit off DRB and the BOSS motor fits into their chassis. An old bloke I work with is building a MG replica with MX5 driveline and suspension. The motor must be under five years old, Australian complianced otherwise it doesnt meet ADRs and so will not be passed by an engineer. I think if they use a motor from a half cut from Japan they have to get it emmissions tested before it can be passed by an engineer. In saying this there will not be much choise but the BOSS motor for the Cobras in the near future. I seen a Cobra replica with an LS1 in it at a car show not long ago but that's just WRONG! Off the topic abit sorry

Cobra is a mental car...

How about fitting a VH45 from a Nissan? Developed by Renault for F1 back in the day...

Not bad... I know Nizpro are a TT version making in excess of 1000bhp in a reliable package for boat racers...

Imagine that in a car...
