Now that the little bugger is heading for the shipping yard, I believe we may be in the clear!

Yeehaaw, my fat li`l buddy!
I reckon there has to be a box full of 'removed' AC badges somewhere behind an old shed in CA!!! 
Just think how many 'back to original' restorations aren`t compete without the AC badging!
Real 1... I can stick a 'powered by Ford' badge on my Mazda, doesn`t make it a Mustang though!  
(p.s. Ned, good for you!)

Brooklands: luv the way you put things. Very vivid imagary and funny too. You guys are definitely a scream!
Hey, in the end they're all great cars and REALy neat too whether you have an new AC/Shelby or a new Kirkham/Shelby and both continuations of an automotive legend and icon...The Cobra!
In the end analysis, after the squabbles over some of the details, when it comes to the "Cobra" I think we're all on the same team.

Congratulations are in order by the sound of things Ned. Where d'you find one????!!!
Look forward to seeing the new registry for the chassis number...! Are we talking COB or COX?
Nik
Soon as they find that box of old AC badges, they can start slipping brand new old 1960s cars underneath them? Or have I misunderstood the way things work.............

Sorry Ned - jumping the gun, but the drums keep beating... I do know (?) thats its not 6112 as that is now residing in the village of Cowden in Kent, not far from me. As you might recall, this is an 'abused' 289 since it has a 7-litre lump and the added delight of dickie-seats, registered COB2. Strange beast, but well-used and slighty worn - like all Cobras should be. I think that is why it sold so quickly!
Anyhow, lucky you and I'm suitably depressed.....

You got bangers on the brain, you subversive old bashers. Nov 5th is just a rumour - and maybe wishful thinking. But yes, it will have some nice color piccies for those who like that kinda thing. I shall do some as outline drawings, so's you get get stuck in with yer crayons (I note you don't have sharp objects where you are). And also full of tall tales, legends and some well dodgy chassis pics...!!!!???

Ta ......trev..... i cant be arsed to find a piece of sharpe coal as a scribe to colour in ........dot to dots best ......... least you can second guess the piccy,.........nway.....did you put this in the final draft ? the story in the sixties of the AC factory painter who when high on some pure white .. dreamt of this blue eyed princess with ruby red lipstick in a vineyard green gown sheltering under a strong live oak ....a silver mist drifted between the red sunset and the sand.......the sky then went dark blue.....a figure appeared ...a guardsmen in a blue and canary yellow and tunic bearing some magic mushroom .........suddenly with the jolt of the compressor restarting the AC painter awoke with a start ! and continued to slash some colour on some AC badged shelbys .......recording the colours from his vision ............truth or toilet ? .......fact or fabrication ? sounds like an original to me !

You must have lost the plot, to even think there was one!
Dammit, Steve, it took long enough for you to stop lurkin` & start posting, don`t bugger off now, or I`ll pee in your paintpots!
