On Stand 109 can be seen what is probably the most powerful car ever exhibited at any British motor show - the 7-litre 475 b.h.p. Cobra. The engine is of course an American Ford V8 as raced at Le Mans this year. The actual car shown has left-hand drive and will not be immediately available in this country. The two other Cobras on view have 4.7-litre engines developing a mere 230 h.p.
A bare chassis is featured. Basis of this is still two fat tubular longitudinals but these have been increased in diameter to 4ins. Body has been widened to accommodate bigger tyres.
