Millions of photos of Cobras at 2011 Goodwood - http://www.acownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2039 which also has near the end of the blog a 1964 photo of GPG 4C being driven by Chris Amon ("the best F1 driver who never won a GP") at Brands Hatch with the caption giving the chassis as #HEM6 (apparently it was built in 63 for AC by an external contractor so has different chassis number from normal CSX sequence). -- Last edit: 2012-01-21 05:12:47

HEM6 was purchased as a kit of parts from AC and built by High Efficiency Motors, not built for AC by them.
