Best bet is a cobra .maybe a mk2 windscreen and doors match so does slot behind front wheel non standard hardtop. definitely not a Jaguar
ReplyDeleteHot Car Magazine was a UK publication that was also published in other languages in Europe.
ReplyDeleteAppears to be a mid 1960's era AC Cobra
ReplyDeleteis that arabic writing on the hood?
ReplyDeleteI can't tell
DeleteHot Cars magazine was a UK Hot Rod style magazine. So most early 70s onwards given what looks like a 2nd gen F body behind it at a UK/AUS car show.
ReplyDeleteJohn Woolfe Racing is an English based team so likely from the UK
ReplyDeletewhich corresponds to the right hand drive
Deleteand the lack of sidepipes....sidepipes were not used in England. Illegal I believe.
DeleteThe first Cobras were Ford engined AC Bristols weren't they? Maybe a Bristol.
ReplyDeleteAC somethings.. I don't recall, I'm not sure I've ever read what model was used.
DeleteHi Jesse. I wrote to Woolfe racing and they replied. Here's what they said:
ReplyDeleteNot much history on this Cobra, I have been able to establish that the colour photo you sent was taken at Blackbushe in 1972. Alan Parker had bought it as a write-off and spent 1yr rebuilding it. It looks like an original 289 version with right hand drive. The original Shelby production were usually left hand drive versions re imported back into this country in the mid 60’s. Owner Alan Parker had our stickers on it because we were running product contingency support so if you won JWR would pay a bob or two..!
wow.... dang, I'm speachless! That's an above and beyond move you made! Thanks! Thanks a bunch!
DeleteNo Jesse... thank YOU! This great site is a daily visit for me, and I enjoy every post. Just paying my dues
