Many years ago, in 1967 I think, I bought a book titled "Carroll Shelby's The Cobra Story by Carroll Shelby". The flyleaf adds "As told to John Bentley, originally produced by Lyle Kenyon Engel" and shows the date 1965.

It's a wonderful read but a long time ago a mate of mine who is an avid motorsport book collector and dealer told me that there was some sort of controversy about this particular book. If it were a book about Austin Healeys he could have quoted me chapter and verse about the book's question mark but suffice it to say he advised me this book was not "proper" somehow.

Perhaps some CC student of Cobra lore may be able to now belatedly shed some light on the mystery.
