General Forum / Cobra 50th Anniversary 2012 - Ideas for Event??
« on: September 13, 2011, 13:26:34 »
September's excellent 'ACtion' notes that an organising committee is being set up with the aim to assemble 'the greatest ever number of these cars in Europe and hopefully the world. No location had been considered other than Northern Europe'.
Given that all versions of the 60s Cobra were built in England, my view is that the event should also be held in England. Brooklands comes to mind even though it was used for the 60th Anniversary International in 2009.
I also think that more recent versions of the Cobra and derivitives produced by AC should be included in the event. This would recognise the role that Brian Angliss in particular (and his employees) played in raising the profile of the car after the 1960s, and allow many more AC owners to bring their cars to the event (and would help reach that world record target!!).
What views do others have on this site?
