To revive the earlier comments, I've since had further talks with the original owner of 6008 and he recalls driving it home from AC Cars on original thin wire wheels which looked lost in the wide rear arches. I have pics of the tubing modifications to the doors with a concave section welded onto the convex section (I think I got that the right way round!!?) It proves that the car was made this way at AC since how could anyone else copy the work of AC when nobody had ever seen a race-prepared Cobra in the UK? Once the car was registered it went to the ex-Ecurie Ecosse mechanic Wilkie Wilkinson at Bourne where he worked for BRM. He added Webers and a louvred hood plus race brakes and alloys wheels mit race tyres.
