Interesting… the registry doesn’t show a COB6003, but it does have COX6003.

Funny.
Not funny ha ha.

The AC Factory Ledger (aka ‘the bible’) only records LHD car number COX6003, ex works 26 November 1963 consigned to Paris agent A Chardonnet.

The advertised RHD car (XBH 545B, DVLA ‘vehicle details could not be found’) was not manufactured by AC in Thames Ditton in period. Searches of published ACOC & SAAC Cobra registers show no record of Eric James and Cliff Davis owning a leaf spring period AC or Shelby Cobra.

Thanks Robin.
I wonder where the creative history to go with the ‘air car’ came from?!
