2299 was built by the Italian coachmaker Corrozzeria Gransport in Modena, and took it upon themselves to modify the original roofline from the shape of the prototype. Although it looked much better than the original, it was higher in both the roof and cowl and thus slower at top speed. Dan Gurney loved this car, and drove it several times successfully. 2299, in my opinion, is the best looking coupe built, and If I was to do a replica it would be of this body. Read the Trevor Legate book entitled "Cobra, The First 40 Years", as it details the scenario.
