Does anybody know what this is?

It's a Mardave Cobra. Debatable about whether it is still in production, it's not listed on Mardaves website but they are sitting on my LHS shelves. Parts are unbelievably cheap, how does rear wishbones at £1.35 sound?

Budget "Cobra Sport" with the ABS body is still in production, the tuned racing version with the lexan body is out of production now though.

I found it sitting in the back of my LHS says l can have it for 10 quid if I want. Gearbox seems in pritty good nick. Was thinking of stripping it and making a tube cage frame around it. What you guys think?

[phiber_optik]

Is it worth it.

Theshopkeeper. Do you know if you have either of the bodyshell and spoilers in stock? and what about wheels and tyres?

got to be worth a tenner for the motor and shockers![] you could throw the rest away if it was knackered,but a good car in the day,id bung a truck shell on it and go bashing as them cobras are as tuff as old boots![][]

Well I turned it down yesturday, but after looking at the price of parts from goldstarstockists ive had a change of heart and ordered a new chassis, bodyshell and spoiler, along with some new wheel rims for the rear. Hopefully that should sort out all the bits l dont like about the buggy lol.
