Hi Guys,
Did a Cobra ever appear with an AC logo? If there is a model what is it?

It did, the early 260 cars has a AC Logo but it was a bit of a hybrid. I think Exoto did a 1:18 with it but I don't know if it has been done in our scale.  |

There were two Cobra's entered at Le Mans in 1963 by AC Cars Ltd. However, these had hardtops fitted, so they weren't the classic convertible shape that you tend to think of then the name "Cobra" is mentioned. Spark (and Bang) have done both cars, but mine are currently packed away, so can't say for certain what logo it is on the nose:  |

According to "The Cobra Ferrari Wars", because Ford would not finance a Cobra effort at Le Mans, Shelby made a deal with AC to prepare two cars and Shelby supplied the engines and transmissions. One car was entered by Ed Hugus, the other by AC Cars. The cars wore the detachable hardtop Shelby and AC were developing jointly. Pictures show both cars with the Shelby Cobra badge on the nose, but the AC car had an AC badge on the rear. Spark have replicated this on the #3 model.
