Default Sunbeam Alpine...the pre-Cobra, Cobra
My Sunbeam is British Racing Green with Panasports and a Weber IDF-sprouted Shelby Racing intake on a warmed-up 289. The five-speed tranny makes longer trips very enjoyable (and economical with the overdrive 5th). Top speed so far has been 148mph registered on a VDO speedo and confirmed by a roadside trooper radar trailer (you know, the one that is supposed to make you slow down).

No Cobra yet, but plans are for a replica soon...with a 289 and a five speed, of course.
