Default Add the French coupe

A few years ago there was mention on forums of
a French vintage racing team that had a genuine AC Cobra 289 roadster rebodied as a coupe. They painted it in '65 livery, dark blue with the fat white stripes and it is allowed to race in vintage racing as a '65 Cobra.
I would presume that was either bodied at McCluskeys or bodied in Europe.

Later there was a rumor that a famous Grand Prix driver bought it. Was it Schumacher? He could afford to buy it with the change in his pocket.
