Joe'Sgarage: Still waiting for my history lesson..
Btw: read the wikipedia article. While factually accurate in many respects it glosses over many points. While it gives top billing to the cars English name as it was used in England it fails to mention that AC was using the name "Cobra" under license from Shelby. Ouch.
Likely written by a Brit.
I found it comical that the article used replicas for it's photos and ostensibly mediocre ones at that. Sheesh.
