   To add some Cobra to the topic: I owe an answer to the question, what is wrong on the picture: Parnelli Jones didn´t win in a Cobra Roadster, but in a King Cobra.

And another Quiz. What was the brand of gasoline, which was filled in Parnelli Jones Cobra, before he won at Riverside.
   The Price will be the proof, which gasoline he used!
   

   
   I'm a little confused here..... You ran a competition to guess what petrol Parnelli Jones's car used at Riverside........ Saying that the proof is...... A picture of a Cobra that wasn't there being filled up with Mobil Petrol?
   
   Errrrr? []

[1984MkIV]

I don´t know where from the advertising gurus got the picture. Anyhow the statement is made that Parnelli won using Mobil fuel.

Hi, sorry I wasn't trying to be mean, just thought it was funny.
   
   You can't always believe advertising though!!!!!!

I think he is a bogus. He doesn't really look like a man who needs karate lessons in order to get what he wants, does he? [B)]

[TLegate]

Sorry to hear about your family 1023 ;-) maybe sell the car? The beard suits you though!

[REV]

Trevor you've gone and done it now. I was going to use this one at the ACOC 60th. at the Cobham Hilton. I thought I'd try my luck by the front door.
   
   Never mind I have a new plan that may just get a sympathy vote!!!!
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   And if that doesn't work I'll have to disguise myself........
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Have you noticed the three guys in the background are all looking at the woman and completely ignoring me!!!!
   
   
   
   Anyway, I've been practicing see what you think!

   I started a little search at You Tube and was amased, how many old stuff is available in the internet.
   
   The Cobra history started right here:

   This looks to me to be Ken Miles' 289 at the LA Times GP meeting at Riverside in 1964.
   The car in the background is likely to be John Morton's Lotus 23B.

[MkIV Lux]

No it is not John Morton's. John's Lotus had dark wobbly web wheels. The wheels of the Lotus on the picture are either yellow or white.

Its probably Jim Clarks car then?

   No, No !
   Jimmy drove a Lotus 30, finishing 3rd in this race.
   
   11 Lotus 23s were on the entry list, but not all appeared. Many of which have a colour scheme different from the one on the photo.
   
   I would think it to be Frank Monise's car, with racing # 44.
