The early Cobra 260 and 289 models were equipped with V8 engines with displacements of 4.3 and 4.7 liters, respectively. Starting in 1965, the legendary Cobra 427 followed, featuring a 7.0-liter V8 and approximately 425 PS. Thanks to its light weight, rear-wheel drive, and direct suspension tuning, the Shelby Cobra delivered exceptional performance and became an icon of international sports car manufacturing.

An outstanding replica of Allan Grant’s Coventry Motors race Cobra. The vehicle was meticulously built using a Kirkham aluminum body and a tubular-frame chassis with adjustable racing suspension. It is powered by a Ford 347 cui V8 stroker engine with four Weber twin carburetors and approximately 400 PS, mated to a 5-speed transmission with a recently replaced racing clutch.

With a curb weight of just 880 kg, this "poisonous snake" is definitely a fast and brutal car in excellent condition. The Cobra comes with UK registration papers and has been cleared through Swiss customs. Please make sure the front wheels are pointing straight ahead before you step on the gas!
