AC Cobra Replica 1988
General description :
1988 Autokraft AC cobra Mark IV
Registration number: EVE547D
Chassis number: SA9AK302XHAI7247
A one owner from new car. This car was ordered brand new from AC cars in 1988 as numerous letters between Bryan Angliss of Autokraft & the current owner attest. The car went straight into the owners private collection where it has seen regular but sparing use racking up a mere 11,000 miles during his tenure. Curiously he tilted the speedometer 140 degrees in the dash upon arrival as it made it easier to read the speedometer behind the spokes of the steering wheel when approaching triple digits.
During this time the car has been looked after without regard to expense & is in perfect pristine condition. The car wears its original red paintwork & black leather interior both in unmarked condition. A brand new spare is located in the boot as is the hood which has never been erected. The car also comes with a full length split tonneau cover.
The car sits on its original Hallibrand wheels with knock off hubs. All original paperwork, service bills & brochures etc come with the car. It is not possible to find an example with a better ownership provenance.

About AC
AC Cars formerly known as Auto Carriers, is one of the oldest independent car makers in Britain that has its roots going as early as 1903.AC appeared to a greater public with AC Ace, a lightweight roadster designed by John Tojeiro with a Weller-designed 2-Litre engine. Soon after, car dealer and racing driver Ken Rudd fitted his own competition Ace with a pre-war BMW-designed, Bristol-produced six-cylinder engine. This combination became known AC Ace-Bristol in 1957 -the car raced at Le Mansin 1957 and 1958.
In 1962, AC was approached by a certain Carroll Shelby to use a small block Ford v8 engine in the Ace, producing the AC Cobra -The legend was born, initially with 260 & 289 engines.
When switching to a bigger 427 engine, a completely new chassis was needed. In collaboration with Ford’s computers and the experience of the AC engineers, the new MKIII was born with thicker main tubes for the chassis, huge cross-braced shock towers and coil springs all around. This, along with the "side oiler" 427 engine, made the new AC Cobra MKIII a formitable race car. Initially a commercial failure, has now become the most replicated auto mobile ever.
