Ac agreed and in march 1962 the first original cobra was built. It was the first speeding rocket. Not long after they fitted a 4.7-litre unit. This engine boosted power from 165 to around 200 bhp and a top speed of 140 miles per hour. They stopped producing cobras in 1968, but then brian Angliss started The cobra buisness again in 1983.
