CdC,
Are you a member of SAAC? Do you have a registry? Cobra Country had them a while ago. The new one is due out soon. Buy one and read the section on COB/COX cars. I'd go home and post up some info from mine, but they get a little nutty about copyright.
Oh, And guess what...with the exception of CSX2287 (American body), and CSX2131 (English body) all the rest of the Shelby Cobra Daytonas had bodies made in Italy by Carrozzeria Gransport.
So are you one of those poser types with some extra cash who has a Cobra so that you can say 'look at me, I'm cool'?
The UK is lame when it comes to cars, huh? Do you know what cars like the MG-TC did for sports cars in this country?
Did you know that an English chassis/German engine combo is currently leading F1?
Dd you know that in the last 50 years only an English chassis/German engine car has won LeMans in their first attempt?
Ever seen a DBR1 or DB4 GTZ? Personally, I think the DBR1 (along with the front engined Scarab) is one of the sexiest cars ever made. (the DBR1 is on the right, next to a DB3S)
Of course, there are always Jag Ds that beat just about everything in the mid 50's, though the Merc 300SLRs were giving the Jags a good run for their money until the Merc team was disbanded in '55.
Do you know what this is?
Did you know that Fords GT40s were also built in England, and was based on the Lola GT (also English with a Ford motor - except when Mecom put a Chevy in his)? Gt40s won LeMans 4 times in a row.
You think a Cobra is fast and brutal, try a British Caterham 7 R500 - it is capable of beating a Ferrari Enzo. Are Italian cars lame also?
The English know more about cars than you obviously do. Maybe you should just do the honourable thing and admit it.
