The AC is an Ace Bristol, not a Cobra. We looked at purchasing the car some time ago and found out the truth then. Research is the key to buying any classic car and we do quite a bit before purchasing any new car. Especially with a sizable investment you nowdays have to make in a Cobra.

If you look in the current Shelby Registry you will find another car in the USA with the same Chassis # as being "used" by the Aussie car........ The next edition of the registry should say more about this as Ned who looks after the Cobra part of it is quite devoted to getting to the truth on any suspect cars.

I know this will be a bit of a shock to the NSW contingent who know the car and owner. I really do not know why the car was converted, but it was done in the late sixties.
