As you know, 2012 is a special year for the 'Cobra' which will be celebrating 50 years since its inception by Carroll Shelby and AC Cars Ltd. back in 1962
To mark this important occasion, 'COBRAS' will be taking centre stage at the spectacular "Cholmondeley Pageant Of Power" (pronounced Chumley) , see
www.CPOP The weekend 15/16/17 June 2012 will see for the first time an exclusive Class for invited Cobras to compete in.
All Cobras attending will be displayed in the paddock at the foot of Cholmondeley Castle and will take part in the parade. This is set to be a memorable event and a once-only experience.
It is hoped that some of the "works" drivers who originally raced these "venomous" sports cars will be in attendance over the weekend.
The special package includes the following:-
Weekend Paddock Ticket
Full hospitality in the Drivers'Club to include breakfast,lunch and tea on both days
Lord Cholmondeley's Drinks Party on Sat. evening
Supper in the Drivers' Club on Sat. evening followed by
The Cholmondeley Fireworks Concert and Military Tattoo
Preferential rates have been secured at a number of hotels in the area.
Places are strictly limited so if you are interested in attending and displaying or competing in your AC/Shelby Cobra 260/289/427 or Mk IV Cobra and later models, please register your initial interest by contacting Richard Wright on 01270-780034 or email
