I grew up in Surbiton, just south west of London and about 5 miles from Thames Ditton where the AC Cobra originated. I used to walk past the factory many years ago as a kid.

I applaud Carroll Shelby's involvement in combining the AC with the Ford powerplant. Without his actions the Cobra would never have been what it became. I wish credit was equally being applied to others that made the Cobra what it became but cannot take away what Shelby achieved.I do regret his decisions apropos AC's involvement but as they say, that is all water under the bridge.
