This example isn't Cobra related, but I bet the general public are often mistaken when trying to decipher the meaning of the more creative license plates out there.....
I was just looking throught the Australian Ebay site. A gent is offering the following plate (currently at a massive $20-!)
Like most cars guys with an interest in motor racing in the 60s, I automatically assumed that this guy secured the ultimate tribute to Mr Vic Elford - veteran Grand Prix, Can Am, Trans Am, and Targa racer.

Not to be.... The plate was issued in the State of
VICtoria, and originally meant to be fitted to an
EL FORD Falcon, possibly the most bland six cylinder 4 door Ford yet released over here...
I might buy it, and at least save Mr Elford the disservice of having his full name affixed to one of these cars!!!
