Summary: Fixation on racing results, not the car itself
Comment: Since the book "Original AC Cobra" is out-of-print and so expensive, I decided to give this book a look. It was very disappointing. It had a bit about the car, and a few interesting pages of historical overview of what the main players (Tojeiro, Shelby, and AC) were up to before the Cobra project.

The problem is that once the book got to what should be the meat of the story, it devolved to a "this person drove that car is this race, and experienced blah blah blah DNF".

While I realize that the Shelby's whole motivation was to go racing, I was expecting a more reasonable balance between information about the car and the races.

There were a few redeeming characteristics of the book. A few interesting photographs of the frames, some assembly line photos, and assembly-line information about all the orginal Cobras.

Bottom line, get this book if you are interested in the racing history. Skip it if you are looking for much information about the cars themselves.
