AC Cobra Aluminium Bodyshell
Footnotes:
'The Cobra was Carroll Shelby's dream car. And Carroll Shelby – and maybe only Carroll Shelby – was the person who made it happen. Granted, he came along at the right time, but he followed through. When opportunity knocks, you don't want to be outback in the outhouse.' – Richard J Kopec, 'Shelby American Guide' 1978.

Little is known of the origins of this Aluminium Cobra body, it was purchased by the vendors late father as a spare body for his original AC Cobra Mark III. It is understood to have been purchased directly from AC at the time, but unfortunately there is no paperwork on file to confirm this.
