Funny he claims they won the World Championship, They won the Division III GT! Carrol was out by the end of the season, Alan Mann had the cars at his shop in the UK. This is what he said about them, "at the end of the season the cars came back from Sicily in pretty rough shape, as you can imagine. I must have had them at my place for fully three months while I wrote letters to the States asking what I was to do with them, and I very nearly had to scrap the lot to avoid paying Customs duty on them. But nobody cared. Ford Division didn't want them, Shelby didn't want them----they were just last years junk." Needless to say, he did find buyers for all that JUNK! Alan Man is one of the unsung hero's of the Cobra story! Oh, and in my opinion, those peace's of junk are more beautiful, that any Pecaso! Cheers, Dennis
