Is there a way to confirm that? On the other hand, it really doesn't make any difference. My understanding was that only the body may have been built in the UK. But I do appreciate your parental type insight. UK types just contributed to the making of Cobra's. No one that I know think of the Cobra as an English car - if they did, no one would built one and no one would have bought one in the first place.

By the way, have you thought about seeing anyone regarding to your obvious clinchpoop condition? I know of someone that would really like to help you out. He even will visit you at your place for a consultation - interested?

Do you know anything about Cobras?? Do you know what a CSX number is? Do you know what a COB or COX number is? Have you ever seen an AC Ace?

Is the Tiger an American dream car because of its American V8?

Since you obviously don't have a bloody clue as to the history of the Cobra...
ACs engine supplier (Bristol if memory serves) stopped making the motor for the Ace. Shelby offered to buy empty chassis and bodies with changed motor mounts to accept the SB Ford. AC shipped the bodies and chassis to the US and Shelby and some of his dealers installed the motors. The contract with AC also allowed them to build Cobras on their own. These were the COB and COX serial numbered cars. They were assembled completely in the UK, and sold primarily to UK and European customers. I forget the exact numbers, but I am pretty sure that it is less than 100. I want to say about 90, but don't quote me on that. Compare that to the total number of Cobras completely assembled in the US - zero I think.

Sure theres a way to confirm it...learn something about it. But you would rather insult a guy (AHarris) than get your facts straight.

I still think you and Mike should trade. You get his engine (the American dream part) and he gets your car (Anglo-American hybrid replica).
