Space Frame Mystery

22 Jul 2010, 3:26pm
Hello everyone

Recently I became a 'proud owner' of a space frame (taken in as part payment against a debt)

I was led to believe that it was Cobra 427 tube formed frame which apparently is much stronger than a box section frame.

In general, the Cobra Club forum members fell about laughing saying that 'no way' was this is Cobra 427.

One member suggested that it would make a good hanging basket - cheeky beggar! though finally someone did come up with the suggestion of posting a thread on this forum for a more valid expert opinion.

Am I gonna be in luck?

I've attached a couple of images.

Can anyone shed any light and if so... how much could it be possibly worth?

Cheers Guys

Sorry Chris... did upload them but they haven't published.

I'm just gonna send them to John to upload.

Keep an eye out for them and thanks for your patience.

Have a good weekend

Pics of chassis in question







Although it's not a chassis I recognise it does have the basic feel of a Cobra chassis (albeit made with scaffolding tubes :suspicious: ) but I wouldn't class it as a space frame, too basic and not enough bracing.

And no apparent mounts for the diff and rear suspension...

The rear section makes it look like a very heavy glider. ;)
