	AC Shelby Cobra: the serpent icon - page 4 of 7
		AC Shelby Cobra, 1962-1965: American iron Mark I and II At the end of 1962 it became clear that the Cobra still had some teething problems.
		It then became clear that the Cobra 289 roadster was perfect for racing on the usually short American tracks where acceleration made the difference, but lacked the necessary aerodynamics to win international races on the longer and faster circuits around the world, where top speed mattered.
		The Cobra generated a lot of attention and this started sort of a Shelby cascade: in 1963 Shelby was contacted by the British Rootes Group who wanted something similar done to their modestly powered Sunbeam Alpine, a perky 2-seater roadster, as he had done to the AC Ace.
