I have a register somewhere, from Grosse pointe MI of a club that existed in either the late Sixties or early '70s, a club
that has something like 20-odd pages of entries for Cobras only, including
British ones. This club had some members in common with SAAC
and I have heard that the first Cobra registry published by SAAC picked up where this one left off. But what makes it interesting is that this registry was published when Cobras were not yet rising in price that fast and in fact Cobras were just old used sports cars so one could say the entries were less prone to be influenced by the knowledge that this or that car is worth a fortune.(one reason I know about this temptation is that I once had a Ferrari Owner's club register and bought seveal cars out of it from owners who had dropped out of the club and didn't know the value of their cars).

One odd thing is that the club's address mis-spells the name of the town and one would think that whoever was editing it would know how to spell the name of their own town. But maybe this was before Spellcheck, or hell, even before computers! I have never checked it against the SAAC Registry but at least it exists as a pre-SAAC historical document.
