Cobra The First 40 Years

Trevor Legate covers the Cobra like no other author and photographer, and in this major new work he gives Cobra aficionados and motoring enthusiasts the ultimate look at this classic car. With over 280 photographs, many never before published, this book brilliantly unfolds the story of the Shelby AC Cobra from its launch in 1962, to the end of production in 1968, to the unstoppable car' s reappearance in the " replica" kit-car market. Whether detailing the first glorious road cars or chronicling the superbly muscled race cars-- including the Daytona Cobra coupes that contested the FIA World Championship-- whether delving into the Cobra' s history or describing the advent of Autokraft and the AC Cobra MkIV, Legate provides every angle on the incomparable Cobra and its lasting legacy.Legate, Trevor is the author of 'Cobra The First 40 Years', published 2006 under ISBN 9780760324233 and ISBN 0760324239.
