Brit rod
Barry Young had a long time to dream about his first custom build, so the lengths he went to make it twenty years on should surprise nobody. What may surprise mind, is the peculiar Humber Pullman he built around, within and on top off.
​
Built for both the quarter mile and the long haul, this Jaguar V12-powered beast truly is a sight to behold... although it's only when you dig beneath the surface that you truly see the level of customisation on display here...
Right first Time
We had to make sure the first Cobra to feature under our new title was special... and boy did Mark Sutton's Factory Five build deliver.
​
While the utmost attention has been devoted to getting all the period details absolutely correct to the original, everything underneath is brand spanking new and completely up to the minute. And its current gen Ford Coyote V8 does not disappoint one iota in the performance stakes either. Oh no, this fake snake has the bite and venom needed to make a Cobra replica really stand out from the sizeable crowd.
From the flames
It's not often a classic car returns from a blaze, let alone stronger than it was before. More retromod than restomod, this Cosworth BDA powered Elan packs one hell of punch.
​
​The Ford racing unit isn't just there for show either, as this handling high point still manages to outclass most modern machinery on a good back road. This one isn't to be missed!
Drag Racing
