The original owner was Emilio Nasi, the managing director of Pininfarina, and the car had a number of unusual body features that today would probably make it more valuable than the Cobra (CSX 3121).

The Tiger was our second of the breed, having ordered one new at the Paris Auto Show 10/64. In the old days, there were few options for wider wheels that would work with the Sunbeam bolt pattern

They're all long gone. I tracked the Cobra's current owner down last year, and we had a number of good conversations about it. He's rich, eccentric, and a true car guy.
Thanks for the reply. I couldn't work out whether the 330 was a MkI or a MkII because of the different rear bumper....I didn't know there was a GTC model!

Cheers
Glen
