Hi
@ZOPPO GT and half_sourly - the Cobra 427 was never raced at Le Mans, but the earlier 289 version was raced in 1963 and 1964. These are the details:
1963 AC Cars Ltd - Mist Green Metallic (the factory race team colours) number 3 - perhaps change it to 30? there is a very poor replica on my profile. British road registered 39PH i.e. black with white letters - front number plate was the adhesive sticker type on the bonnet. Racing number plates were square at the rear and sides and round on the bonnet. Dunlop magnesium wheels were used as Halibrands were difficult to obtain in the UK. Detachable streamlined aluminium hardtops were developed by AC Cars Ltd. which added 8mph to the top speed - raising it to 160mph. Drivers: Ninian Sanderson and Peter Bolton, Team Manager: Stirling Moss. Sponsors: The Sunday Times and AC Cars Ltd. Result 7th overall and 4th GT.
1963 Ed Hugus entry car number 4 driven by Ed Hugus and Peter Jopp. Team Manager Stirling Moss. Sponsor Ed Hugus - he was an amateur racer and car dealer from Pittsburgh and heavily involved in the creation of the Cobra with Carroll Shelby - they had discussed the idea many times while racing together and Hugus mechanics built the first 8 production Cobra's under contract to Shelby. The car was visually the same as the number 3 AC Car, but was painted white. The racing numbers were black on white roundels bordered in blue. Unfortunately the car was fitted with an experimental engine by Ford, which was in a higher state of tune - it began to consume oil and the car was disqualified for adding oil outside the allowed window. Note - in the picture below the stripes look black, but were actually dark blue and much narrower than those normally seen on Cobras. British road registration 645 CGT.
Below 1964 Le mans - the 289 Cobra of Fraissinet and Mortemart driven to 18th place overall. NB there was also a red number 63 sister car due to be driven by Lucky Casner and Jean Vincent, but this was a DNA.
Wishing you all good luck with this series and wish I could join you, but I will still be at work!
