Also wanted to post this - the "other" Cobra Coupe

Shelby developed the Daytona Coupe at the same time AC developed the A98 Coupe based on the same engine and chassis. According to my latest Classic and Sportscar mag this was just as fast as the Daytona at the 1964 Le Mans until it crashed out due to a tyre letting go and it was wrecked. Its been rebuilt from parts.

It was one of 4 GTs that did a sub-4 minute lap and managed 185 MPH, on the M1 motorway...
