I had contacted the owner of the Buchanan Cobra mentioned in the Victoria Historic Racing Register and asked the question on the origination of the Cobra name, awaiting a reply.
He woke up in the middle of the night and the name popped into his head and he wrote it down in his dream journal then went back to sleep.
The next morning he looked in his journal and saw what he had wrote that night and said"Yeah...I'll name the car Cobra!"
