My health issue is an allergic reaction to blood thinning meds, that resulted in a liver disease. But now it looks like it can be cought under control. After all, bad weed grows tall. "Middle sea" - I wanted to say "mediterranean" which is called Mittelmeer in german. It's where the umbrella shot was made. Yes, the Cobra is completely unbalanced, as well in engine/body sizes as in front/back weight proportions. Hard to drive fast, at least on winding roads. But: beautiful. We have a Cobra manufacturer here in Switzerland that developed a strongly modified chassis/suspension unit to make his Cobra 289's winners on the local hill climb races. Jerry, the AC Bristol is indeed the Cobra's legitimate ancestor. Regardings it's actual collector's value you may regret having sold it? :-) Didier >#15 is a beautiful picture of a tastelessly outfitted car.
