Question

Ron, I was looking at the specs and info on CSX 3033 and CSX 3303. They both seem to share a past. CSX 3033 is owned by Sir Anthony Bamford and he also is rumoured to own the infamous Cosby Cobra CSX 3303. I have read that Sir Anthony restored the wrecked 3303, but without the original Twin Paxton Supercharged 427, with a Weber equipped 427, as 3033 is equipped. I have also read that Sir Anthony recently located the original Supercharged 427 from 3303 and has re-installed it in the original chassis. He has also changed the steering wheel from the right to the left. Is it possible that 3033 is the restored Cosby Cobra 3303? Is there a separate history of CSX 3033 and CSX 3303?

A decent 427 - not the worst, not the best, will go from zero to 100 mph and back down again to zero in less than 14 seconds. All thing considered, you can put together a pretty good argument that the 427 Cobra is the ultimate performance car, judged on any basis you want to name."
