Cobras before CS
I have in front of me a copy of page 63 of the September-October 1959 issue of "Sports Car Graphic" magazine (or was it still Sports Car Quarterly then) which shows two photos of the Buchanan Cobra, a two seat sports car made in Australia by Buchanan Motors. It was a sylish little car with lines similar to some Fiat and Ferrari models. It used Triumph engine and gearbox and a fiberglass body on a "box section frame". Wt 1440 lbs. Height 48 inches. Included wind-up windows, adjustable bucket seats and "roomy luggage accomodations". Cost was "about $2200". "Scheduled to go into serious production in the middle of January"(1960). "Negotiations are taking place to retail it through the dealer network of a major car company."
First is first.
