Cobra (Thames Ditton) Forum / 1964 Oil Cooler

« on: May 27, 2013, 19:43:26 »

Has any one seen one of these coolers before? I don't know the manufacturer of this one and there are no identifiable markings on this one....

Very similar to the A98 Coupe model in style, but with the fittings on top like the ones you would have on the 1964 FIA bodied Cobras.

To Trevor:

   I was suggesting a book, by you, just about all the European/South African/Australian Racing Cobras (FIA/COB/CS/CSX)and possibly the Daytona Coupe that was raced in Japan, not like the current crop of books here in the USA that include all of the Shelby American History, just Euro/African/Ausi/Japan History.

   Here's a rough list of possible Cobras:

   CSX2001-JEAN VINCENT
   CSX2130-BOB OLTHOFF
   CS2131-WILLMENT COUPE
   CSX2131-WILLMENT ROADSTER
   CSX2137-FORD OF FRANCE RALLY COBRA FOR A FEW MONTHS-JO SCHLESSER/GREDER
   CSX2142-LE MANS
   CSX2155-TOMMY HITCHCOCK
   COX6010
   FIA CSX2260
   FIA CSX2301
   FIA CSX2323
   FIA CSX2345
   DAYTONA CSX2287
   DAYTONA CSX2299
   DAYTONA CSX2300(JAPAN DAYTONA)
   DAYTONA CSX2601
   DAYTONA CSX2602
   A98-AC COUPE
   COB6004
   COB6006
   COB6008
   COB6024
   COB6033-THORPE-AUSTRALIA
   COB6040/6040A
   COB6041
   COB6050
   COB6051
   COB6127
   427 CSX3004-SPAIN
   427 CSX3006
   427 CSX3019

   "The Great Court Battles of Carroll," might be a possibility with in the next 5 years.

   What is a rough estimate on producing 5000 books? You can email me at ezurbrig@cableone.net if you want to answer offline.

   Thanks, Erik(Kranky)

To Trevor:

I have your current book "Cobra-The first 40 Years," already, I thought you were working on a "New" Cobra book about the exclusive European and possibly the Japanese Daytona racing History, do you think that kind of a book is a possibility for a "Boring Old F**t?"

To Trevor:

   Great book!! Is there enough information and photos out there to do a European only Cobra Race Book?

   So David cut COB6006 up and threw it away, almost sounds like CSX2259,Lynn's beautiful recreation, another dumpster survivor.

   Here is a photo from the David Purley Bio website, I do not know the location. How many races did Purley do before the "Accident?"

#151 Derek Ridler is David Purley's cousin. Lec Refrigeration was the David Purley's Family business that sponsored both Cobras in question. #151 is listed as COB6024 and #152 is listed as COB6006. The SAAC registry is not 100% clear on the facts for both cars accept that COB6024 was a Princess Blue with a Red interior and COB6006 was Bright Blue with a black interior that was switched to red seats during David Purley's tenure. Is the photo of the Brands Hatch circuit?
