Not Ranked
Oy vey - the Willment Ghia is alive and well and in very rude health in the warm UK-based garage of a caring owner who has done a considerably amount of work to actually sort it once and for all, complete with a 427-style interior (not the rather naff quilted effort of the 1970s). It's a Cobra in the sense it was built on the chassis of CSX3055.
And you cannot bestow knighthoods on folk when they are dead, only when they are alive, as in the case of Sir John Whitmore - Mr. J. Willment would of course have been proud.
Whazza
COX2601 alive and well & living in Florida (last I heard). They also finished COB1001, owned and rallied by Adrian Hamilton, sold to Austria. A couple of other FIA bodies were made as rollers. Please turn to pages 207 - 208 of my 40 Years book for visual proof. I still think that the market will go mad when the Aussie Coupes hit the auction houses, as they inevitably will. Am in close direct contact with someone who may just be able to supply a rare photo of one when it broke cover recently.....
