Description
For sale, a very nice 1986 Pilgrim Sumo, a replica of the legendary AC Cobra, fitted with a 4. 6-litre Rover V8 mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. The engine has been fully rebuilt and has covered fewer than 5, 000 km since the rebuild. It is equipped with a Holley carburettor and an Offenhauser intake manifold. Cooling is handled by a large-capacity radiator with twin electric fans, which is particularly effective: no overheating or heating issues whatsoever. The bodywork is in excellent condition and wears a brand-new, high-gloss black paint finish with anthracite grey Shelby stripes. All the chrome is in excellent condition. Halibrand-style wheels are shod with brand-new XL tyres, 215/ 15 at the front and 235/ 15 at the rear. The interior is superb and very well finished: adjustable nubuck seats, a hammered aluminium dashboard, a Moto-Lita wood-rimmed steering wheel and fully working electronic instrumentation. The hood is also brand new, made to measure by a professional trimmer. It fits perfectly and is taut, with perfectly clear side screens. The total mileage is deliberately not stated, as the electronic speedometer has been replaced. However, the engine has covered fewer than 5, 000 km since its rebuild. 24 CV fiscal horsepower, 5-speed manual gearbox, French collection-plate registration document (carte grise). The car will be sold with a contrôle technique certificate valid for under 6 months. A very lovely Cobra, as appealing for its presentation as for the sound and character of its V8, aimed at an enthusiast seeking a well-finished replica that is ready to hit the road.
