The Cobra never had an undertray :confused:

It did have a undertray that used to sit on top of the chassis. Me and Chris Doughty used to use a graphite chassis and shock towers made by fibrelite, which made it fairly competitive in its day. Would be interesting to know if any graphite chassis are still knocking about??

yes it did...as an "option" part.....well, an "overtray" actually, that sat on top of the chassis, as opposed to under neath it. they were available in ABS & Lexan, but they only did Lexan last time I bought one (about 2 years ago).

All Cobra spares are still readily available, and I believe a "new" evolved Cobra is on the way.

thanks for replies. I know I can get them direct from mardave but was just wondering if anyone had any old ones knocking about as im giving it a blast at Broxtowe MCC this coming weekend! Give all these B4s a run for there money!

i will consider myself corrected then ( i never ran one myself when i run it )..
mind you it was one of the 1st to be run.

Think it was more like a couple of plastic lips either side to keep the dirt out rather than a full tray. Was a long long time ago though.

Will be at the Broxtowe meet myself, will be interesting to see how it fairs against todays cars.

I was once told that Mardave was run by 2 blokes called Martin and David......

nope, definately a "full" tray affair.

Chris Wilkinson now owns and runs Mardave i believe.
Have you seen the licenced Caterham 7 they are selling? it`s a beuty.
New Cobra is due out this month,probably just at the end of the month.
Both kits come complete with Nitelgraffix sticker sets,which are superb.
