Banned in the EU, eh? But they were built not far from you in Thames
Ditton, Surrey. But if you read the Wiki article here
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_Cobra> you'll see that, as Paul
suspected, this (from the side pipes and other details) seems to be the
competition version.
Checking the photos I see that neither the Cobra nor the Cadillac have
front license plates. In California you can order vintage style plates
for your 50s, 60s and 70s cars
<http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/newsrel/newsrel12/2012_20.htm> but, except
for years 1945 and 1946 every California car requires both a front and
rear plate. Fitting a competition car, the Cobra doesn't seem to have a
mount for a front plate. The Cadillac, however, does have a rear plate.
As shown, neither car is legal for the road. Maybe that's why they're
photographed on a relatively deserted stretch of old US Route 66 ("the
mother road") in the middle of the Mojave desert.
