I disagree, Tom. While those people were involved with what actually became the Cobra as we know it, without Carroll's idea, there is no car. Without those people, Carroll just finds someone else to make his dream come true. His idea was American V8 in a well handling roadster. It wasn't Ford V8 in an AC Ace. That's just were the idea wound up.

It still comes down to no Carroll = no Cobra. There is no one other person involved that the same could be said for.
