Cobra books
Two heavily illustrated and highly detailed reference books on Cobra which have been written by leading motoring writers.
This sumptuous book is the ultimate must-have for Cobra aficionados and sports car enthusiasts alike. It covers the story of the Shelby AC Cobra in depth, from the first exciting road cars to the ultimate 7-litre ‘427’ Cobra and the racing models, including the Daytona Coupes that contested the FIA World Championship, winning the GT crown in 1965. From there the story progresses, covering the end of production in 1968 and the subsequent rise of the ‘replica’ kit-car market, plus the advent of AC Autokraft and the AC Cobra MkIV. It also covers the story of how Carroll Shelby recreated the 427S/C and the controversy that surrounded it. Forty years after the Cobra was launched, this ultimate sporting icon is still in production in many forms. Author Trevor Legate is a well-respected motoring writer and photographer and this book contains previously unseen photographs taken during the 1960s, plus many new images which have been shot specifically shot for this publication. The book also contains an accurate copy of the official AC Chassis Registry that documents the history of every Cobra that left the factory in Thames Ditton.
