The Appeal
It was a simple formula, but also a very effective one: Take a lightweight British roadster and stuff an enormous American V8 into it. That's what chicken farmer turned racing royalty Carol Shelby did to make his legendary AC Cobra.
Here we have an AK Cobra 427 - a very well-executed replica of the original AC Cobra, renowned for their quality and drivability. This particular example represents a rare opportunity to acquire an essentially new Cobra replica with exceptionally low mileage. Having covered less than 1,900 miles since its registration in 2016 and having been stored in ideal conditions, this Cobra presents an enticing opportunity as summer approaches.
