The 'chip' under the nose of CSX2000 shows the original yellow. The myth is discussed by Rinsey Mills in his recent book Carroll Shelby The Authorized Biography. I don't have the page number handy.

From Octane Magazine, August 2004

Bruce Ropner, the original owner of COB6008 (the first FIA-bodied car to be available for sale):
"managed to cover the 222miles between Hyde Park in London and Darlington in 2 hours 18 minutes late one night in the summer of '64, touching 167mph as the A1 dipped past Grantham and enjoying the moment so much that he turned round and did it again"

Cheers,
