According to Trevor Legate on page 58 of " Cobra, The First 40 Years ", .... " Cobra's were initially offered with a colour choice of red or white but customer demand soon saw the introduction of black, blue, green, silver and burgundy...red and white remained the most popular " Since the first 75 cars were 260 ci it begs the question of what was the colour of the original 289's....my understanding is that they all came painted from the factory. Who knows ? Someone knows... but part the fun of the Cobra Legend is arguing about it.. edited to add that the 5 FIA cars were shipped in primer..
