29 July 2024: Troy captured these shots of his Factory Five Racing Mk IIII Cobra roadster with a borrowed vintage Canon (Model 530) consumer digital camera that he had never used before. He just followed our Cobra Photography Tips almost to the letter and came out of the exploit with these exceptionally good photos. Thus you're able to admire this beauty almost precisely as you'd see it in person! CS Cobra gold divider bar 23 December 2024: Please mark my Mk3 Factory Five Roadster (CSN336) SOLD! Gone to a lucky new Cobra aficionado way out west in Tucson. And by the way, many many thanks for your site's photography tips… I followed them as closely as I could and Curt assured me that in all likelihood my buyer might well rely well rely on them rather than fly to Virginia to first see my silver bullet in person. And that's just what happened! We're all happy campers! Troy Torbett
