Home built Shelby Cobra Daytona was made when Shelby sold chassis CSX2130 to an independant racer. I wonder if it was the only one

learned about this at http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5870067&postcount=13861

but the story is at http://www.imca-slotracing.com/1964-Le%20Mans%2024-5.htm

September 26, 1964 - The annual Autosport Three Hours, at the Snetterton track is the tenth and last round of the British Championship and the fifth time that Ford and Cobra stay eye into eye.
Eventually there are only two Cobras (a Willment Coupe and the HEM-6) at the start and two Ferraris - two LMs: Maranello's for Graham Hill and Piper's.

At the start, with Graham Hill on the pole, it's raining the proverbial cats and dogs.

As the track becomes less like a lake, Jack Sears is able to use some of the power of his Willment Cobra Roadster, passing Roger Mac and taking the lead.

The Willment Cobra Daytona Coupe places 1st

October 21, 1964 - This is the third year that British drivers show at the Daily Rand Nine Hours of Kyalami. Willment Cobra Daytona Coupe places 5th

A Trolley hit this car, makes me wonder how often that happened

the type of Trolley I'm referring to is the electric streetcar before they were all disposed of in favor of gross polluting GM busses http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/07/wouldnt-city-transportation-be-more.html no joke, the lobbyists for GM (biggest corporation in the world at that time) convinced the national senators and congressmen that the electric streetcars were worse than diesel busses that tear up the asphalt at intersections because of their weight, and pollute the air
