Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / ac cobra prices????
« on: January 12, 2007, 09:00:25 »
THe wretched CSX/Shelby/Original discussion will haunt the Cobra to its grave and that it a tragedy - it takes place on both sides of the Atlantic by well-meaning enthusiasts, who, deliberately or otherwise, do far more harm than good. Too often, money is at the root of the problem, maybe a little jealousy as well.
   I think the fact that the long-term SAAC Cobra Registrar Ned Scudder sold his Shelby 427S/C and purchased an AC289 Sports from the UK (and is more than happy!) speaks volumes.

If the car was aluminium, it was not built in South Africa. Exactly where the body was made is another issue, but the car was finished in Las Vegas.
   
   Amusing how the difference between the (genuine!) AC Cobra and the MkIV splits people into two camps. When it comes to driving them, you either love one or the other but rarely both. Apart from neanderthals like me who'll drive anything with a V8...

   Funny you should say you once owned AK02 as it's currently for sale in europe: www.florentmoulin.com
   It is described as a 427S/C (why?) and has 8000 miles on the clock.
   
   As it happens, Hawk Cars can now convert any MkIV to full MkIII spec if required. Maybe best to do the job after you've pulled your pride and joy out of a ditch and get the insurance company to pay the bill? Probably no more expensive than rebuilding it as a MkIV

A classic case of 'let the buyer beware', to put it mildly. Will be interesting to see whether the reserve is reached. Place your bets...

   That's a very useful rock, Rick. Did it arrive through your study window?? My wife sent me a rock once, but her aim ain't so good either

Hi Jim
   Many thanks for your kind words - if I can bring a little happiness, etc etc.....(actually it was just a cheap excuse to get my hands on other peoples Cobras)
   Rick
   So tell us about your rock. Sounds fascinating!
   and a Happy New Year to all

Trevor,
   
   Better question is "why is Murray involved with this?"
   
   I would love to be a fly on the wall when Gordon meets "Dear Leader."
   
   Rick
   
   ....and the in-depth technical discussion will undoubtedly go on long into the night.
   
   I was talking to the owner of an indecently rapid (non-original) 'Cobra', and he assured me that although the asthmatic little Smart roadster engine lacked forward momentum, its ability to go round corners should not be underestimated!! This is in its pre-'AC' incarnation of course. Or should it be the Project Kimber Ace?
