COB 6106 was the first AC 289 Sports built, and was retained by the AC factory as a demonstrator until its sale in '69 to David Brown. It was featured in the 10/67 issue of Motor magazine.

Scott.
I'm not sure we will ever know for certain, unless there are references to him in some of the AC Owner's Club notes from then.
The UnCobra - AC emblems.
Shelby didn't offer 6000 series Cobras until 2014.
Maybe. But AC Cars, who built each of the '60s Cobras, put AC emblems on all the cars sold in Europe, as they were called AC Cobras. Those sold to Shelby had these AC emblems removed and replaced with round Cobra badges.
