  • I drive my Cobra to Goodwood for PistonHeads Sunday Service, December 2017, and after giving my friend @VT_SV a ride and short drive in it, it starts raining. So I find out how hard it is to put the roof on my Cobra. Note: I did put the frame on back-to-front as this was my first time.

    What's it like to drive with the top up, is it still fun, or just a last resort ?. Also is it dry, and what's the head and shoulder room like? I'm thinking about buying a Cobra but I want to able to drive it occasionally with the soft top up, something that isn't really possible with my Westfield as the visibility and room in the car is not at all enjoyable.

    To be realistic, if I were gonna spend a couple hundred thousand on a car, and i am very aware of the fact that this is what the cobra is all about, but I would get power steering and a removable roof at the minimum. The fact is and this is true of most people. I am not used to driving a small car with a big engine that has been described by almost everyone as a death trap and the scariest car ever made

    • @AdamC3046
      @AdamC3046  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeh the Chevy V8 is meant to be more reliable, and coming from a TVR that sounded like a good choice.

    • @Andyc351
      @Andyc351 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Having had both a SB Ford and a SB Chev I wouldn't say there is any difference in reliability. Parts are cheaper for the chev but maintenance is a doddle on both.
