Well, lets see.

Since the majority of "AC Roadsters" that were built for domestic consumption in the UK were marketed as AC Cobras (as evidenced by the brochures that survive to this day), the REAL answer is "I think so". So, yes, that would and should be an appropriate answer.

Curious as to why SAI had no objection to it back then. Could it have been that SAI's cost per car from AC may have benefited from higher sales both for import and export? Hmmmmmmmmm.....

All for now...going for Japanese.

Yours in Polish Mormon Roadsters...
