| The picture to the right has some interesting features to show. Among them:
A) The undercar exhaust is clearly visible
B) More details are visible on the beautiful Halibrand style wheels.
C) The rear bumper is bent outward for rear decklid clearance.
D) Notice the 4 tail lamps. These are Lucas units that started appearing on all Cobras after CSX3201 until production ceased with CSX3360. Rumors are that AC switched from the rectangle units to round after they had exhausted the supply of rectangle tail lamps. The other story is the rectangle units were not bright enough. I tend to believe the brightness story, as the rectangle tail lamps have no reflector behind the bulb!
E) This car also has the wide rear flares, or "wide hip" body. Notice that the rear wheelwells are slightly flaired. The narrow rear flared cars or "narrow hip" had no flares, or only a small lip on the rear wheelwells.
