   The Register has both of these Cobras as ex-works 27th of June 1966, but the black one is recorded as Silver!
   I`m assuming he needs 2 so he has one at home in Switzerland, and one in the U.S, with raging success comes convenience!
   Maybe this thread should migrate to the T.D forum...

Post by: AC Ventura on January 23, 2015, 13:28:24: Just noticed the rear lights on this '66 are very much like the Mk IV set up. To achieve same retro look on a later car, you can replace the amber rear lens with a red Lucas 692 (as existing stop tail). If you spray the inside of the (red) lens with green glass dye, it will miraculously flash amber. It's a trick used on modern cars that don't display amber rear indicators lenses any more.
