Shelby Cobra badge

Description

The badge is solid copper which has been plated in shiny silver and handcrafted enamel. Just look at the detailed pictures! Mount it on any vehicle, or just keep in in your collection, on your desk or in your book shelf as a reminder of a great episode in the Italian and American racing history.
The badge is a tribute to Cobra in Targa Florio, and its blue, white and red colour scheme, and its number 146 makes all Cobra fans nod in recognition. What a truly stunning car! And what a badge! It comes in a metal box, and on its backside it has doublesided tape. The perfect addition to any Cobra dashboard or bodywork!

Driven by its all american crew Dan Gurney and Jerry Grant, and entered by Shelby America Inc. to tackle Targa Florio in Sicily in 1964, the Cobra bearing race number 146 managed to finnish 8th overall, and finnish the 10 laps in just over 7 hours and 38 minutes. Imagine driving a Cobra on the public roads of Sicily flat out for almost 8 hours!
