Cobra - The First 40 Years Cobra - The First 40 Years
by Trevor Legate
This book tells the complex saga of a sports car that was created
in the early 1960s as a result of an unlikely collaboration between a
plain talking ex-racing driver from Texas and a conservative British
automobile manufacturer, funded by one of the giants of the industry,
the Ford Motor Company. Carroll Shelby, AC Cars, and Ford came
together to create a car called the Cobra, based on the AC Ace
Roadster that had been in production since 1954. When the Shelby
Cobra was created, it was far from state of the art, but the use of a
new series of Ford V8 engines saw the lightweight car annihilate the
Chevrolet Corvette in American sports car racing. By adding
aerodynamic bodywork, the Daytona Cobra Coupe arrived in
Europe to contest the FIA World Championship and took victory in
the GT category in 1965, making Shelby American the first (and
only) USA based manufacturer to achieve this feat. This is the story
of the Cobra.

Ford GT40 and GT Ultimate Portfolio 1964-2006
Built to take on Ferrari at Le Mans, the GT40 began its race
career in 1964 and continued into the 70s. It was 1966 when
Henry Ford's dream was realized when three GT40s finished
1-2-3 at Le Mans. Although the GT40 continued to be raced
after 1967 it was with private teams rather than from Ford itself,
where it became a legend in its own lifetime. Recently Ford
has produced a limited volume modern-day replica - forty
years young and still a magnet for enthusiasts whenever seen
at a motoring event. This book is the story of the GT40 and
contains a collection of road tests, model introduction articles
and driving impressions. Included are full pecifications and
history.
