Not Ranked
My earlier AC-sourced lightweight MKIV, ne: MKIII sort of, MK II and MK III S/C's all had Cobra labels on the door jambs and on the booklets. They were made in the early to mid-nineties.
It is my impression that the MKIV and continuation MK III's were given unlimited use of the Cobra moniker for Cobras, outside of N. America. Perhaps more precisely, AC Cars Limited never LOST the use of the name until not only after the AC company was wound-up, but also when it became public knowledge that the cars had lost their legal status in both GB and the EU. This includes during the period of legal wars with FORD (which Angliss clearly won) and with Shelby (which, IMHO and arguably, Angliss also won). Mr. Lubinsky & crew were given cease and desist orders after their purchase, it is my recollection from certain of the principals.
But, perhaps i remain misinformed.
