Computerworks.

I suspect that I have read the same books and do not reach the same conclusions. Having spent the last 30 years working in the motor industry I have occasionally had the privilege and opportunity to have access to people who were directly involved. Maybe they just try to humour my views because I have an English accent?

Mr Bruce. Unless I am mistaken the world championship win was spearheaded by the Coupe While this was clearly a vehicle that showed much more of Shelby's ( and more particularly Brock's)influence it is not the vehicle that the vast majority of people associate with a Cobra, nor is it the car that the vast majority of users of this site replicate. It used the original (albeit modified) leaf spring chassis as desisgned by Tojeiro. The Shelby modified (with a lot of help from Ford) coil spring chassis with its 427 engine which most people replicate was a dismal failure as a race car.
