« on: June 09, 2008, 06:24:35 PM »
This could well be the least convincing AC Cobra replica on the planet - any idea what it is?

Absolutely right - well done! This execrable creation was built in India and based on the Suzuki SJ410 or Suzuki Carry van!

Of course, you are right: P.T. Marvia Graha Motor was based in Jakarta

And we took to them, and they took to us.

And whaddya think they took?

Oil from Canada. Gold from Mexico. Geese from their neighbor's back yard, boom boom.
Corn from the Indians. Tobacco from the Indians. New York from the Indians. New Jersey from the Indians.New Hampshire from the Indians....

Indonesia for the Indonesians!

Ah, yes......and Veteran's Day

Proportions seem wrong for a proper Cobra. Is it something like a Miata wearing a Cobra bodykit?

It's not a Miata.
It might well have been inspired by a Cobra but it's not a Cobra bodykit.

Indonesia is the right place!
I had to look up the Marvia as I didn't know it, and whilst I didn't have that name it does look a lot like one and I would say it probably is a Marvia body (which means the earlier answer I gave about it not being a Cobra kit copy would be wrong..).
This one is not Suzuki-based though, but since you've got so far I'll lock it for you to see if you can find the correct base.
