MX 1 was functionally the AC Cars "show chassis" for the lobby of the AC Cars factory in Thames Ditton. It was only constructed as a bare chassis, not as a Cobra. The fact that it was built to Cobra specifications long after the Thames Ditton factory closed does not make it an "original AC Cobra" in any fashion. If one were to take a Ferrari 250 GTE chassis and construct a 250 GTO-like vehicle on it, no one would call it an original Ferrari GTO, not would they make a claim that the resulting car should be valued as one. Maybe, instead of an enigma wrapped in a mystery, we've got an exaggeration wrapped in hyperbole.
