WOW! Sold, Buy-it-now, for $695.

I guess someone really wanted it badly!  Likely a pretty rare item that rarely comes up for sale.

Crumbs! I have one sitting on my technical library shelf, here in my office. Better hide it away in the safe! I think John Spencer had some Cobra chassis instruction books re-printed if anyone is interested. The same goes for many other AC models.

   I guess if the guy owns an original Cobra,then it was worth buying.
   
   Maybe you could make a few quid on those old tyres ![:)]

Wow, I have a colour swatch pack for 1962, 2pp airmail letter from Jock Henderson to US prospect, leather sample etc. At those prices for what I paid it is in line with Ace Bristol appreciation! Happy days...

In retrospect I'm happy I paid the considerable sum of £8 to Charles Mortimer for a Cobra 'Chassis Handbook'. I went without food or alchohol for several days after that.
