The original original cobra?

Saw this today on the web:
1949 MOTTO 1100 SPORT - PreWarCar
Sure looks like a cobra.
Anybody know anything about it? Looks more like a cobra than the early AC.
Very interesting

I thought a real cobra was built in south Africa, an original cobra was a continuation, and the original original cobra was built in the 60s? Maybe this one can be an original original original cobra.

Sure glad I have a FPSB kit car, much less confusing. Or was it a tribute car, or maybe it was a reproduction...

Know nothing about it, but there were a few of these lightweight barchetta-style sports cars in the pre-cobra era. Here's another one I saw while looking at the same site - side pipes and all :
