Well spotted Ned - they do indeed look like those on 6127. However, i did ask what the chassis number was and he has no idea - never bothered to keep any record!!
The owner in the photo is Tony Parker and if you have the current list of chassis built by AC Autokraft etc you will find him listed as the owner of CSX4009. He was heavily involved with Cobras in the early 70s and is still a serious fan - his 427 is black with twin white stripes and built to full S/C specs, Goodyear gumballs, webers, perfect paintjob etc etc. Built, with some assistance from Gerry Hawkridge, as the Ultimate in every respect. Almost money no object. But he has better trousers now - and the hair has gone!! He sells 4x4 off-roaders for a living. A good bloke. Even if he did use his 289 for grass-track racing!! Good grief.
I am very tempted to pay him another visit and beat the chassis number out of him (except he'd kill me) as it's really frustrating. If, as you say, it might be 6127, that's a bit of info missing from the Registry! Either way, its an owner that is missing anyhow! I shall continue my research......and give him a call on Monday as he might recall who he brought it from.
Sorry about the quality of the photo - it was scanned from a print that was less than 2 inches long!
