Turned out it was under £50 a day hire! Turned a day planned relaxing on the beach into one of the best days out ever.

The Twelve Aspostles are pretty spectacular too by the way.

Pictures of the 3 replicas, or it didn't happen!!!

That is an awesome story if true though.

I dropped the SLR camera off on the way to the beach (we were staying about 100 yards from this photo). The guy on the right has pictures though so I'll try and get them off him.

Davey, where was this hire shop? Taking my dad over at some point next year or 2012 for a flight in a English Electric Lightning. One of his all time favourite cars is the AC Cobra. I know these are replicas, but would make for a fab couple of days exploring

The guy we used was based on the sea front road in Camps Bay. I can't remember the actual name of the place but it was an office near the Bay Hotel. The cars are usually parked on the roadside so easy to find.

If you google Camps Bay Cobra hire then there are a few options where you can pre book. It was cheaper when we were out there than what I've seen on google.
