A hearsay story so not sure if true or myth: Ford allowed the trademark on the Cobra name to laps in South Africa so Shamrock registered it and used it for their kits - Ford sued them and Shamrock won with costs - Ford never paid costs so Shamrock attached the Ford Blue Oval Logo - Ford paid the next day.
