Had my first taste of actually driving the Cobra circa 1980. I spent a decent time behind the wheel of the ex-factory AC Cobra 289 followed shortly after by the 427. I loved the first and hated the second in equal measure. But that's just me (although I know I'm right...)
The car was always expensive since Shelby had secured a personal agreement with AC to pay him £50 (around $65) per car, a not inconsiderable sum in 1962. I doubt the Ford bean counters knew about that one.
