eBay If you have a 'spare' Zed

[DaveP]

all,

A Kobra kit just up on eBay if anyone has a Zed with poor bodywork and you fancy a project. The kits are over £2k so if you get it at less than that it could be a bit of a bargain depending how you look at it. I would have been interested but just bought and taken delivery of one this month already.

I have no affiliation to the kit manufacturer or seller themselves. Just it's a Zed kit so someone here might get a bit interested.

When I first saw this I thought it was really tacky and a bit lame. But then I saw what they look like when fully painted etc, and begrudgingly I have to admit they look pretty cool. Damn. Might have to get another just to have a play. Time to get saving!

I have admired Tim’s work from a distance. Really like the red Kobra with black stripe. The rear lights were very interesting too. I’m going boring landie lights to keep costs and mtce down. Those wheels do set it off also. Im leaning toward (banded maybe) steels that look a bit like old Dunlops but not at £1k for 4 of them without the tyres.

Too many Cobras are re-sale blue with white stripe for my liking.

I like the 250swb too but been wanting a Cobra looky-likely for 25+ years. I will finally get something of that order soon be it at the expense of a poor old Zed.

Next couple of weeks I’m helping to build another one. Then onto mine. excited ? Hell yeah
