I was about 9 when a couple moved into the neighborhood with "His & Hers" MG TC's. Not sure what year they were but I remember the big wire wheels.
The first Cobra I remember seeing up close was a Black 289 in spring of 1965 at an Auto X in Fresno Ca. The car was owned by Sam Cardwell who was the caretaker of several Cobras in Fresno and owned an independent British Sports car repair shop.
Laguna Seca 1965, Sophmore in H/S; Cobras and Porshe 904's (or 906?) hauling ass around the old turn 2 & 3, at the time I didn't realize how special it was to be there..
