Description
Collectors and investors should keep the following in mind: Regarding Shelby Cobra replicas, the compliance of the French registration document with what the vehicle actually is (manufacturer, year, model, engine) is paramount to secure your purchase. French legislation (FFVE) is very strict regarding replicas: a replica to be eligible for a French collection registration document must be over 30 years old (manufacturing date), must no longer be in production, and must be in its original condition. By applying this rule imposed since 2014 by the French government and the FFVE, very few replicas are admissible in France. A discerning buyer should therefore question the genuine legality of Cobras with registration documents dated 1965 or 1966... 67 (unless this Cobra costs £2 million and is therefore a genuine original Shelby Cobra). The same applies if a Cobra from a modern replica manufacturer that began production in 1995 or 2000 is being sold with a registration document dated 1974, 1982 or 1986... these modern Cobra replicas should be avoided as their registration documents are fraudulent. Generally speaking, Cobra replicas with standard registration documents should be avoided because 99% of the time a replica has no European or French certificate of conformity (except forged ones)... and therefore must undergo an Individual Type Approval (RTI) with the French mines authority (UTAC & DREAL)... but they do not issue these. This is why it is almost certain that a Cobra with a standard registration document has fraudulent bogus paperwork. Note that the French government has recently launched an anti-fraud campaign against bogus registration documents. Registration cancellations and heavy penalties are currently being handed down. Absolutely read our section "Press Coverage" (top right) on our website bourgogne-auto-classic point fr and you will understand the extent of the fraud. Bourgogne Auto Classic is the French leader in Cobras as we exclusively sell and homologate collection registration Shelby replicas (Cobra and GT40). The Cobra we are offering you here is a genuine collector vehicle that will be sold with its FFVE collection approval (already in hand) and its French MOT. This 1991 Cobra was produced in the USA by the prestigious manufacturer UNIQUE Motorcars. This example of the famous Shelby Cobra 427SC is well-powered as its bonnet houses the legendary 7-litre Ford BIG BLOCK FE V8 just like the genuine Shelby Cobras from the 1960s (Engine in 428 Police Interceptor finish/ option). The gearbox is an appreciable Ford Tremec 5-speed which prevents the engine from over-revving on fast roads.
