Rallysnake, the Cobra 289 was entered in a rally in 1963. It was the Tour De Corsica Rally, tarmac i think. The Car was CSX2142(Ed Hugas car Le Mans 63) and it was driven by Jo Schlesser/ Vanson to 2nd overall. 1st place went to Rene Trautmann/ Alex Chabert in a Citroen DS19. In the book i have in front of me it also states that Schlesser drove a Cobra to 1st place with Jaques Greder in the Rally De Lorraine in 1965.
