Mark Evans

- uses a crusty old Granada as the basis for a kit car replica of the classic AC Cobra two-seater sports car. We spend £2500 on the latest colour-changing light reflective paint and it is.

Amanda Stretton

- visits the Cobra's biggest fan - the man who has a $3million 'dream garage' containing an incredible 9 original AC Cobras.

She takes a Cobra replica for a spin - the original Cobra is the one that brought about the introduction of british speed limit when in 1962 one was caught doing 200mph up the new M1! As a direct result shortly afterwards the 70mph limit was introduced

We also visit California's 'Cobra University' at Willow Springs raceway where people take their cars onto a race track for the first time. Part of the training is to experience the car skidding out of control.
