How about this?
At the lasaac show on the santa Monica pier is this:

A COB car. One of the last AC chassis left after Shel cancelled the deal, sold to paramount pictures UK as a bare chassis. They turn it in to various movie cars. They then sell it in the seventies to somebody who shortens the frame (frame too long? prototype for the lenghtened coil over frame that became the Frua bodied AC428?)
Then in the 80's it gets a Brian Angliss body off the old AC bucks, is switched to Left hand drive and given a side oiler (most of the COB cars where delivered as small blocks) and a toploader.
Is this a "real" cobra? It was displayed with the originals, kit cars way far away.
I've got a headache.
