Not Ranked
This looks to me like COX6057.
The leaf-spring COB/COX6000-series cars were sold as "AC Cobras" whereas the coil-spring COB/COX6100-series were sold as "AC 289 Sports" models. The main reason for this is that Shelby had sold the Cobra trademark to Ford by the time AC Cars started making the 289 Sports, and they not able to keep using the name.

For historical reference on an open forum though, this is a "COX" car I photographed in San Diego a couple years ago. Stupidly, I didn't get the chassis number though!
Anyway, note it's a rack and pinion car, 6" Well-Laced Dunlop wheels, Smiths gauges and front Cobra badge.
