Might I suggest the purchase of the new World Registry of Cobras?
There's some great information in there.
Well it turns out that Jeff was right all along. MkI Cobras are the worm-and-sector cars and MkIIs are the rack-and-pinion cars, according to the SAAC registry (p. 1598).

But you are mistaken as to the meaning of "CSX." It's a common misconception that it stood for "Carroll Shelby Export." See page 1593 for the correct meaning.
