Way back then, why would they lie about such things. Especially given the value of originals at that time. Fast forward to the present day when the cars are worth far more, and greed has now been added to the equation. I think you get my drift.
I'll leave it at that.

I studied the AC Heritage Brooklands website and seems to be very legit to me. I suggest you take a good look your self. The information I posted was direct from them. They were very helpful in answering my questions. I was simply trying to pass on information I thought was quite interesting. They have a extensive collection of original AC everything way prior to the Cobra as well as well after the cobra. (I was impressed with the site). They do much more than just work on Cobras there, I don't think they need to lie. Personally if my car were to ever be damaged I think they are the only ones I would want to work on it.
Here is the contact information for the "unnamed fellow" from AC Heritage you mentioned.

Maybe you should contact him directly to try and satisfy your doubt one way or the other.
