Join Us at the 2016 London Cobra Show

This year, the 2016 London Cobra Show will be held on June 23rd – 26th.  The world’s largest Cobra gathering has been one of the best events of the year for Cobra fans for almost 15 years.  Every year, a big attraction is the raffle car, and this year the LCS will feature a special raffle car (that you can buy tickets now for) that is a the very first #001 Factory Five 20th Anniversary Mk4 Roadster.  The winning raffle ticket will be drawn at the Saturday night dinner.

The Friday autocross is a ton of fun.  Last year, my daughter Madison loved the autocross and took turns with Jenny in the passenger seat.

 

The live auction, silent auction, and charity rides were all well executed, safe, and fun.  Huge thanks to the Ohio Cobra Club, to all of the sponsors, vendors, and customers who support this show.  I hope you join us in Ohio this summer!
