Glen,

As Ned is, I think, away I’ll answer from an ACOC perspective.

AC’s ‘X’ in the car number meant LHD. Thus all Shelby Cobras are CSX except RHD ones (CS2030, CS2130 & CS2131). All RHD AC Cobras are COB, including cars exported to RHD markets, and all LHD AC Cobras are COX, including LHD ones sold in the UK (three, if I remember rightly).

6010 was COX6010 from its earliest record in the AC Factory ledger. ‘COB6010’ is a SAAC error – 6010 to 6016 were all LHD ‘COX’ cars.

My 15 June post above summarises the ACOC information conclusively demonstrating that 6010 was destroyed by parting out in 1965. This information is confirmed by many sources, including Flavien Marcais’ 18 Aug 2004 report following interviews with Jean-Marie Vincent, Bernard Maitre and Bernard Afchain. I believe the SAAC Registry was updated to take this information into account, but not before the 4th edition made its way to the print shop.
