Mk IV for Sale at Sports and Specialist Cars, NJ
« on: May 10, 2013, 19:06:19 »
I also saw another ad in the current issue (June 2013) of Sports Car Market magazine.  The ad is for a 1986 Mk IV for sale at Sports and Specialist Cars in New Jersey. I called and spoke to a salesperson there today to find out more details, but they do not have the car in yet and he had no particular details on the car and no pricing yet.  It is another BRG car with tan interior with knock offs.  Has dual exhaust together on driver's side of the car.   Here is a link to the dealer web site which has a few pictures.

   If I can get more information, I will post it in the event anyone is interested.  No affiliation of course....

I received more information on this car today if anyone is interested in it.  Here is a note from the selling dealer:
   
   "Originally built by AutoKraft for Fielding Holmes of St Louis, MO. He picked-up the car at the factory and toured the UK before shipping it to the USA. Holmes went through a divorce and when he remarried, his new wife did not like the Cobra and would not ride in it. The car was put in storage from approximately 1989 until it was sold in 2012. During the storage period, the car was maintained and serviced by the owners' Porsche mechanic. The new owner has used it very little and is selling it because he is investing in other vehicles.
   The AC Cobra comes with side curtains, top and tonneau, original steering wheel, wing mirrors, manuals, and spare keys.
   The defect in the paint on the bonnet has been repaired (spidery cracks where the scoop meets the flat of the bonnet).
   
   We are asking $125,000 or best offer.
   
   I will be happy to supply photos or anything else that you need. Please do not hesitate to ask.
   
   Thank you for your interest,
