HI EVERYONE I am trying to trace the history of a AC Cobra that raced in the 1971 Modsports championship driven by Chris Shipton. He finished 2nd at Silverstone

Any clues you can provide - Capacity?  Registration?  Chassis number?  Colour?  Body style, ie open or hardtop? etc

 

The more information to start with, the fewer blind alleys.

Hi D Type

 

Sorry for the delay.

 

AC Cobra chassis no. COB6030 reg. no. HPF407C driver Chris Shipton. He had a 2nd and a 3rd at Silverstone in 1971. That's all I know

 there was a small thread here a few years back on this car. the SAAC forum members really know their stuff. you might try them, even if the car raced in England.

Hi Michael

 

I did try saac, but no joy. I suppose old 1971 autosport mags are worth trying
