This thread is one of the best I have read! Some of you guys have really put some effort into your posts and most interesting they are too. I thank you for that.

The story about the lady's car driving at Le Mans reminded me that in the town where I was born there really was a 'little old lady' who drove a Cobra. She was a widow I believe and it had been her husbands car. I remember seeing it parked outside the flats where she lived, it was a 289, in a sort of dark maroon and wire wheels as far as I can remember. There is a long straight running out of town called the Fair Mile and legend has it that she used to blast the car up there once in a while to see if it would reach 100mph by a certain point and if not, she would take it for a service. I think she owned and drove it into her 80's. Just a bit of Cobra trivia...
