The painted wires don’t exactly pop, and on the whole it looks more like an Ace than a Cobra. To me the historical significance is what makes it appealing, but if I had a collection it would likely be the car I drove least.

All that said there are many CSX2-series cars (and replicas) that make me wish they were waiting for me out in the garage. To-wit:

What tires are on the car in this picture?

They are Avon CR6ZZs. Not sure of the size although the wheels are 15” FIAs. Tires here: CR6ZZ | Avon Motorsport

NO, those are Cooper Cobras, not Avon CR6ZZ's. Here are Avons: CR6ZZ | Avon Motorsport

Here are the Coopers: https://www.google.com/search?q=coop...hrome&ie=UTF-8
