Cobra on TV in 1966

[cobham cobra]

Isn't Youtube wonderful, I had a call from a journalist this afternoon, he is writing about the early days of the M1 motorway and says the AC Cobra will feature heavily as the ideal (pre speed limit) motorway car. We got talking and he mention "The Rat Catchers" which was a short lived TV show in the UK back in 1966.
   
   Back then I was a 13 year old and the show's opening credits sowed the seeds of Cobra ownership.......it's only taken 40 odd years. Hope it brings back a few memories for some of you.
   
   Cheers - John.

And here is the solution for the shifter problem (coming from the Oct. 1964 Monterey Grand Prix Official Program; I guess the return on invest on this add was awful ...):
