You might think a Cobra is an unattainable dream, and youd be right. However, a replica that looks just like one and works rather better is not only attainable it costs about the same as a Toyota. Iain Ayre has been reviewing, building and designing Cobra replicas for decades: theres nobody better to have in your pocket when you stop dreaming and start checking out buying or building one for real. This book condenses all you need to know into 64 packed pages covering Cobra types; low, medium and high budgets; buying pitfalls; engine and donor recommendations; good and bad points pretty much everything you need to know to start scaring BMWs with budget V8 thunder. Iain Ayre writes for both Kit Car Magazine (UK) and Kit Car Builder (USA), is a keen kit car builder, and author of several other sports car books.

About Iain Ayre
Born in Glasgow and now resident in Canada Iain Ayre admits to being both opinionated and unfocused. He was warmly encouraged by his school to leave and then after several random gap year jobs he decided to take an English and art teaching degree but as teaching is hard work he became a model portfolio photographer cartoonist advertising copywriter copy chief and creative director ending up as a writer at J Walter Thompson in Mayfair. Unwisely he launched an ad agency and when that ended in tears ambled into motoring journalism freelancing for Triumph World Classic Cars MG Enthusiast Kitcar Japanese Performance Redline Jaguar World and Australian and US titles. He launch-edited Classic Ford and has written 14 books about cars and one about gourmet dog food. In his spare time he creates the occasional car: a Mini based three-wheeler spaceframed XK120 replicas a propane turbo V8 Cobra and most recently an Art-Deco-inspired Rolls-Royce boat-tailed two-seat speedster in aluminium.
