Coincidentally, yesterday I parked by my boat just two spaces away from a Cobra, black-and-white “H”-reg number plates, 427 badges and all… I’m not a rivet counter, couldn’t say for sure whether or not it was a replica, but everything looked pretty old (including the Radiomobile cassette player), and the parking sticker from a London marina suggested the owner wasn’t short of a bob or two. I’d intended to have a closer look when I’d dropped some things off at the boat and returned, but it had already left. And what delayed me? One of the staff said “Plus 4?” and I replied “Wow, good call”. He explained that he’d owned a Plus 8 for five years and had travelled with it throughout Europe. But he’d lent it to his brother-in-law who was without transport and when it came to him that he hadn’t needed it or missed it - after four months - he realised that it was perhaps time to get rid of it. His comment on the Cobra? “Hasn’t got the class of a Morgan”. But as I drove to the exit there was a Maserati convertible on its way in (anybody would think there’s something special going on this weekend) and, imho, that does have the class of a Morgan. Peter
