The AC/Shelby Cobra was identical to the AC Ace but with a new engine.
Caroll Shelby installed a V8 engine taken from Ford (USA) and made this car
very fast. It became famous all over the world, especially from 1965 on,
when Shelby installed the 427 big-block V8 with over 400hp.
In 1965 Shelby installed the big-block, and made some further changes:
bigger wheels, larger brakes and a wider track made it neccesary to expand the fenders.
