The Cobra formula has never been improved on: take a light British roadster chassis, remove the modest engine, and install the largest American V8 that will fit. Carroll Shelby did it with the AC Ace in 1962; the Mk III of 1965 got the 427 side-oiler, coil-spring suspension and the flared, muscular body everyone pictures. Continuation and recreation cars built today follow the same recipe with modern brakes, tyres and construction — and they deliver an experience that essentially no modern car can: enormous power, almost no weight, no electronics between you and the consequences.The Cobra story joins British AC chassis design with Carroll Shelby’s American competition thinking and Ford V8 power. That transatlantic formula changed sports-car history, influenced the GT40 programme and created a shape that remains one of the most frequently continued and recreated designs in the collector world.This example is finished in Red over Black, fitted with a manual gearbox, showing 633 mi on the odometer (a displayed reading, not a guarantee of total distance).Stock number P17578D, VIN/chassis 2ATN08052NU703284.
