Nurburgring, May 23 1965,
driven by Jo Schlesser & Andre Simon
This was the only time that one of the Cobra Daytona Coupes
appeared in this color scheme: white body finish with blue and red
stripes. Chassis CSX 2300, subject of our item #RLG18005, was leased
from Alan Mann by Ford of France for this race only. It competed in
the national “Tri-Colore” of France. Well known French drivers Andre
Simon and Jo Schlesser drove this coupe at the very demanding
Nurburgring circuit. The car finished 3rd in the GT III category, and
12th overall. After the race, this unique white coupe was returned to
Alan Mann Racing where it was repainted in the official “guardsman
blue”
metallic and white colors of the 1965 Shelby American team.
