I have purchased an XC Cobra (no.73) and it has no compliance plates? Apparently they were thrown out or stolen in the early 90's from a house in Perth? Obviously the numbers are JG65UM00073k. Has anybody seen them or got them? There is a reward if they turn up (if they are still around). I know it is a long shot but I thought I would put it out there, As they are of no use to anyone else when I re-license the car. Any info etc. can be kept confidential. Scott [email protected]

Congrats on your new toy. Did you get a good deal on it? Compliance plate or not, a Cobra is a Cobra. 73 is a 351 isn't it? What's she optioned with? I have the breakdowns for the cobras in a book here somewhere but I'm too lazy/disorganised to find

WOW. Bargain of the year that one. What bits if any are missing? Nothing on the radar about the car being advertised, not sure if I missed it or if the old brain is finally leaking more memories than I realise. Well if it is I guess I wouldn't realise

Rear stone tray is the same as a twin system XA XB sedan/coupe, non GT. I'm guessing you already knew that one. Got one here but it's a tad beaten up. It's off a XB GS coupe. There's always rear glass floating around the place for sale. The biggie i

I already had spare rear glass and stainless trim, but it came with the stainless trim anyway. It has really good bits for a coupe, rear wheel arches and rear beaver panel, nearly no rust. But it has some real bad points. It has had a rh rear quarter weld
