Roadster Chassis Num: CSX 2433   The AC Cars second generation Mark II cars were produced from 1963 to 1965. This example was a left-hand drive, Ford engine car designed for export. The cars carried the designation CSX and began with serial #2000 making this the 433rd produced. In early 1963 the steering rack was borrowed from MGB and the steering column from the VW Beetle. AC had already made the modifications for the small block V-8. Before the introduction of the '427' the '289' was the standard bearer for Cobra in America. The '289' dominated USRRC with only one loss in three years of racing. CSX 2433 began as a Vineyard Green street configuration. Having changed hands and configuration several times, the present owners had it taken down to component level and restored it as a true 1964 competition Cobra.
