Wonder what they did or why they changed the car??
it seems that the quarter panels (on moff's car only) were changed for sandown '78. this was the first race in cobra colours. maybe to save weight???? it does seem that xc quarters are thinner than xb's. maybe it was to fool people into thinking it was an xc so they could run to cobra specifications - this is probably unlikely as bond's car still had the xb panels and cams would have known it was an xb gt anyway
check the pics in post 5 with the two cobra's and different quarter panels
