Bill, are you saying that all AC Cobra MK IV's were the street legal small block variety with the headrests ? I thought that some were made to SC specs and were simply too expensive for Shelby's tastes,so they started argueing about who could produce the Cobra and what it could be called, which I found humorous, as the situation sort of still exists today, 15 years later.
Johan, admittedly misconceived from the very beginning.
Angliss (AC) did make S/C spec cars to order. These were only imported as rollers due to DOT/EPA issues. Several were imported by Dave Wagner and others were brought in by individual owners. They had no connection to Shelby.

If I still had access to the AC/Autokraft logs I could list all of these but now that the Frimley works are back under the control of the Evil Empire (Lubinsky) you can bet I an "personna non grata" there
