In this video you will find a summary of the fascinating history and development of the early AC Cobra sports cars, to the thousands of replicas that can be seen at almost any classic car show. Also expect various images and footage of various original AC Cobras and Shelby Cobras from a plethora of events, from the Goodwood Revival races, to the much-missed Cholmondeley Pageant of Power.
