This is the info that we have about 002 from a reliable source...Keith Goodall owned Cobra 002 from new. Keith was a Qld Rally Driver, he also owned the GTHO phase IV that Bowdens now have http://www.gtho4.com/fouronthefloor/...r-archive.html

Hi Doug I saw #002 yesterday at Maroochydore FPV. They had a GT Day withAllan Moffat as guest speaker. It had been restored back to original condition.They also had the GTHO Phase I,II,III & IV Race cars. It was amazing tosee. . I think FPV will be doing these days around Australia so hopefully theywill bring these cars with them for you to see.

Funny that. #002 was actually the first Bathurst model, the 30 runningfrom #002 to #031. #001 was a 'standard' model.
I remember seeing #002 a couple of times, about 1980, first in Dave Price CrashRepairs getting a new roof after hitting a horse near Giru. Took the roof offclean as a whistle.
Saw it later, I think it was owned by an army bloke at the time, seemed to havebeen lowered, had mega-buck, ultra wide wheels with very expensive low-profilePirellis and was fitted with a roll cage.
Dunno where it is now...

As an apprentice when thexc Cobras came out I did the pre delivery inspection on #002 that had beenbought by Keith Goodall. The anti tramp rod was not fitted and was lying in theboot , when we tried to fit it the U bolts would not straddle the rod end.There was a transmission cooler but no pump . I thought Keith would 'hit theroof'', but he told me he wasn't worried but just told me to keep all thefactory documentation that was scattered.
