I believe Pete Brock's book The Daytona Coupe agrees with Lee. Pete has told me that CS was working on the GT40 and did not have time to work on the Cobras. Hence Alan Mann ran the Cobras in 1965.

If you don't have Peter's book, " The Cobra-Ferrari Wars" by Michael Shoen chapter #34 'One Last Time' will add insight into the 1965 European season and Alan Mann's involvement.
While you're reading you might as well read chapters 35, 36, 37, & 38.
