This must be a very rare occurance, a 50 year old car, one owner from new.  I wonder how many others are still in the hands of their first owner?

[nikbj68]

I believe Herbie Hancock still owns his, although it`s rarely driven nowadays...
   I love Shelby`s note on the glovebox of the above car, looks like "Give `em Hell, Harper". Cool. [8D]

This is an exceptionally desirable car.
   
   I hope to goodness it's not bought by some Euro go-faster buyer and given the standard ten-a-penny or so modern treatment (split boot, Le Mans fastback, GT40 intake, Webers, six-bolt 'J' block, 8.5" rears, Rose-jointed adjustable suspension, stripped-out interior, 80+ more bhp etc). Such rare cars ask to be preserved and deserve to be preserved, not bastardised.

Ditto that, Sir. I`d extend that wish to anyone considering (over)restoring it, it`s great as it is, thanks!
   I think this is even more desireable than THIS ONE from 2012 was, I`d love a follow-up on that Cobra, too!
