Hi All

Evening Jake,

Welcome aboard, I am sure someone will help point you in the direction of  a source when you are ready.

Cheers

Dave

Hi Jake,

A big welcome on board from all the Register.

We look forward to hearing all about your car and as Dave says; there will be good advice, as and when you need it from the membership as there are one or two who have made from the switch from RV8 to SBF; Dave Woodward especially.

Lee

Hi Jake,

Welcome to The Cobra Register. 

As Lee has already said, there will be plenty of good advice when you need it and one of our members, Dave Woodward did the same conversion a couple of years ago. However, be prepared for a sizeable bill, swapping the engine, gearbox and rear end isnt going to be cheap. Depending on how much of the work you can do yourself, you could be looking at the thick-end of £20k. One the plus side, Dave W. has been very happy with the end result.

Paul

Hello Jake ... always a pleasure to welcome a new member to the register. Looking forward to meeting both you and your car at some future event

Cheers Dale

Thanks all for your comments

I'll keep an eye out for Dave W when he is online. Sounds like he will be good to chat too. 

If anyone is up near staffordshire/ shropshire feel free to drop me a message be good to meet a few people. 

Many thanks 

Jake

Hi Jake,

I think Lee Marshall is planning to take his Cobra over to Dave Brookes shortly for a bit of fettling and tweaking, so that might be a good opportunity to meet up.

Paul

Hi Jake,

I live in Walsall which used to be in Staffordshire. I have a 29 year old BRA 289 with a 4 litre Rover V8. No doubt will bump in to you in the future.

David

Hi Jake,

Just emailed you with my contact details if you'd like to chat.

Cheers

Dave

Hello there everybody,

I met some of you earlier in the year at Gerry's barbeque & on the Sussex tour organised by Colin & Nicky Newbold.  Glad to be joining you guys.

I'm running a Magnum Mk1 Cobra. These were kits & full builds by Mike Broad in the Oxfordshire area in the 1990's. He is now retired & once the business was sold it shortly after went out of business.

I have had this car for twenty five years, not as 'authentic' as some of you guys cars but a great car. Cheng Lim at Thunder Road recently did some brake work on the car & he commented on how well it handled. Only around seventy cars were produced so quite rare. 

Hope to see some of you at future events.

Best regards from     Roger Portman

Welcome Roger.

25 year’s is a long time and possibly the longest ownership amongst our members.

How many miles have you covered in that time?

Paul

Hello Roger and welcome. I'm sure you'll enjoy membership we have a great bunch of people here.

Nice 'racey' look to the car.
