FB, you have a really, really nice car. I always like to see what folks hold onto in the interest of originality and then what the same folks may overlook... In your case, the biggest and first thing folks see (paint on the body) does not match any of the original racecars! On the other hand you have the little-known suitcase patch for FIA homologation. Some folks are big-picture and some folks sweat the minute details and gloss over the whole.
I certainly am not one to judge - mine is powered by a 540 BBC.
Again - Very nice car!

Thank you for the positive comments. However, I haven't "overlooked" the paint, it was my personal choice. While there may or may not have been an original Cobra that raced unpainted, I haven't attempted to replicate any particular car and it would certainly have been possible to have had an unpainted Cobra from new as they were generally all painted to the customers requirements.
Also, if it was painted, it would hide the beautiful aluminium that was hand formed by skilled artisans.
