Something a little different. It looks like a squashed cobra.

One of my favourite cars had a 1/25 scale model of it back in the 1960's

That is different, not sure I like it though proportions just look wrong to me. Probably fun to drive mind.

Looks like a Ginetta to me.........

Wouldn't say no to a drive, but not at that price!!!

I do sort of like Cheetahs. They were no match for the Cobras they were designed to beat, it fact they were downright dangerous. Drivers complained of heat fatigue because basically half the engine was in the cab with them. There were a few campaigned at the drags which is why I've heard of them. I think there have been other firms producing bodies over the years since the original project was wound up.

I actually like that, but would rather have a lightweight E type

is that the 'EAGLE' one?

that's the 'Lindner Knocker' low drag coupe built from a Lightweight E Type roadster for LeMans by Peter Lindner and Peter Knocker.

the Eagle one is based on the 'CUT7' low drag coup which pre dated the aluminium Lightweights and the only E Lowdrag built by Jaguar.

there is another Lowdrag coupe '49FXN' designed by Samier Clat for LeMans again built from a lightweight roadster.

The cheetah is one of my all time favourites

price seems reasonable compared to all the nonsense money around Ferraris and the like.
