As it is apparently the M1’s 60th anniversary there’s a piece in last week’s Autocar about Jack Sears testing a Cobra on the motorway before Le Mans in ‘64. They borrow a road legal Superformance built replica Daytona Coupe for the pics, and refer to the ‘six original Shelby cars’. Problem is, the car that Jack was driving was the British built Willment Cobra Coupe, which although similar to the Shelby cars in proportions (they were given the original drawings to work from), was different in a lot of areas, and a complete ‘one off’!
Bit disappointing, especially as the journo concerned races historics......
