A little Cobra history lesson...
Today was the day I met up with a few friends and head to Jim Taylor's Auto Collection in Gloversville, NY. I knew he had two original Cobras (289 & 427) but was surprised to find he added an AC Ace Bristol to his collection. His Ace is a barn find from the great state of Delaware and shows ALL of the patina it acquired of the last 57 so years. Mechanically it is 100% but Jim loves original unrestored automobiles and will keep it this way.
Here he has the three lined up in a perfect row. 427 Street, 289 Street and Ace Bristol
Rear view (notice the Jaguar D-type (Blue), C-type replica (his real C-type in flying back from Italy after he ran it in the Mille Miglia) Chrysler Hemi power Allard (white/red)
Low level shot and barn find 100% original 1965 Shelby 350 in the background.
That's spelled P-A-T-I-N-A!
Knucklehead nobody, "Jim, do you mind if I sit in the Bristol?" Rich Millionaire, "Not at all, help yourself." Knucklehead nobody, "Boy is this going to be great!"
More to follow...
Pat

Cool! Neat to see the Bristol parked next to the Cobra. Great comparison.

Great pictures and I am happy that the Bristol was left the way he found it.

Nice job of recording the visit Pat. Seeing all three side by side in the same order they appeared in the timeline of history is quite interesting.
I have never seen the interior of a Bristol as clearly as you work here illustrates it.
Thanks for sharing.
Ed

Here's a few more:
Jaguars XK's, The black one is an ulta-rare alloy bodied (1 of 242?), the Ford GT is the only car in the collection he will not drive (12 miles). Don't worry he has a white/blue GT that he drives.
Jim told us a story about his D-type; he was offered 6 million for the car and turned it down. He said' "I'm not ready to sell" but "Maybe, I'll put a 10 million price on it and see if anyone bites."
Aston Martins: The green DB7 Zagato Coupe was once owned by Rock great Eric Clapton.
More Astons and Jags
Evel Knievel's last Harley-Davidson
Close up of his Allards
1,700 mile Boss 302
Unrestored Boss 429
