Market commentary
Apparently Bonhams (and the owners) expected the two AC Mk IIIs offered at Monaco to be indistinguishable from Shelby Cobras. The bidders, however, expressed a different opinion, recognizing that the coil spring AC Cobras are a different kettle of fish from the leaf spring Shelby 289 Cobras. Realistically this car should have sold if there was money at this bid.
