2000 SVT Cobra R #002 To Sell At Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
In just over a week the Barrett Jackson collector car auction will kick off in Las Vegas. Although it may not be Barrett Jackson's largest event of the year, that title goes to Scottsdale, it still offers a variety of stunning Ford Mustangs for the avid car collector to choose from. One such vehicle that caught our eye this year is lot #636, a 2000 SVT Cobra R #002.
When Ford created the 2000 Cobra R they knew that some buyers would use it on the race track as it was intended. With that in mind they wanted to make sure that the most collectible models weren't smashed up on the track so they chose to preserve a few of them. That includes model #001, the first 2000 Cobra R ever to be produced and this car which is model #002. After being built this Cobra R was first put on display at the '99 SEMA Show where it shocked the crowds with it's stunning looks and race worthy suspension. Afterwards Ford's SVT division purchased the vehicle and used it as a pace car for several months before it was eventually retired to a private collection. Now it's for sale! The Barrett Jackson collector car auction is being held at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on September 22-24. Crack open that piggy bank and get down there!
Lot 636:
The 2000 Cobra R was the fastest Mustang produced up to that time, and one of the rarest with just 300 manufactured. The Cobra R was the only SVT Mustang available in 2000. The 5.4L 32-valve engine produces 385 horsepower, 65 more that the Cobra of '99 and '01. Truly meant for the truck, the Cobra R has no air conditioning, radio or rear seat and it was built with some of the best performance components available, including Brembo brakes, Bilstein shocks and Eibach suspension. Tremec 6-speed transmission, Borla exhaust and Recaro seats. This Cobra R is #2 of the 300 and has led an easy life, yet has a distinguished history. It was displayed at the SEMA show, then purchased by Ford's SVT division for historical preservation along with the #1 car. It was subsequently used by Ford Racing as a pace car for several months before being retired. Unfortunately, removing the pace car graphics damaged the paint to the extent that a total repaint was required and this was done by the Roush paint shop. Most recently it has held a place in a prominent private collection turned museum.

The Joys of Insurance and Being 'Young' - UK Cobra Club
I mainly found it strange as I've not always insured modified cars with them, I've insured ordinary ones aswell. It's seems to be a new thing, they have put a blanket ban on all saloon cars and a load of other things for under 25s, can't understand why, I would have thought they would at least consider it. Just means they will lose considerable business. It's a pain as I liked Chris Knott, but now i'll have to go with someone like Swiftcover!! Rather it is based on actuarial research that says for the most part (excluding you of course and any other young person being directly addressed) that young people are twats and because of this they have more than their fair (numerically speaking)share of accidents. Premium levels are determined by the level of perceived risk; young people have more accidents than other age-groups and therefore have to pay more. Much like this time round, I'm more mature so want to drive a nice comfortable laid back car with better safety features and does more to the gallon (and much slower) and would like to go with the insurance company I like and with which I have a proven track record...but they outright won't consider me, just find that a bit annoying tbh! I would expect the price to be higher as the car is worth more but I think this is a bit rich of them! Here in Portugal car insurance is very unimportant. Insignificant, realy. We too had some crazy prices for car insurance. Not so long ago, all insurance companies were "attached" to the Government. Then liberation arrived (1975). We have a lot of foreign insurance companies in this country. Good competition . Portuguese insurance companies are but a few. So, prices are low and very afordable.
