Cobras at Zandvoort
From auto evolution:
" Nearly 51 years ago, British drivers Peter Bolton and Ninian Sanderson scored a seventh place finish in the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans in a stunning metallic green AC Cobra fitted with a 4.7-liter Ford V8 engine under the hood.
Not exactly relevant to the video below, save for the hardtop. Yes, the no.3 car raced under AC Cars and W.Hurlock made me fall in love with hardtop wearing Cobras. Can’t say I like ’em more than the roadsters, but they’re intriguingly beautiful and a very rare sight.
Moving on, the video you’re about to see below shows two genuine 1963 Shelby Cobras being raced on the Zandvoort track in the Netherlands. We’ve seen vehicles like this stretching their legs wheels in Europe before, but to have a pair of them is a rare feast for the eyes and ears.
........, scroll below to enjoy one of the greatest race cars in history doing what it knows best! "
