Some years ago when I was using the cobra se, mardave were talking about releasing a evo spec with a better diff and carbon shock towers. It never happened because at the time mardave had a problem with the gearbox moulding and needed a new one and the cost was an issue. Also, If memory serves me correctly the retail price for the new car was going to be approx £120 and with ansmann just hitting the market at the time it was thought that nobody would buy one when they could have an ansmann for a lot less. Chris wilkinson was not that convinced it would sell well. The car was fast at the time and I am sure in a vintage class would do well really. My car was used for the photos on mardaves website. It's evolved since then and I was going to sell it but I may hang into it and have a go with it one day.
