Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Headrest
« on: December 30, 2012, 12:11:22 »
Dear all,
I’m looking for a set of headrests form my AKL1411.
As you know I want to keep the car as it is and now looking for the parts which are missing-
As I’m aware that there are different types of mechanism existing for fixing to the seats, I’m looking for those suit to the seats on the photo below.
Colour tan (beige) is welcome, however if it is different colour it will be fine also.
Moreover: Carpets green colour are also missing – both in the front - driver and passenger side.
Also welcome :-).

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / AK 1073
« on: July 31, 2012, 10:50:33 »
Dear all,
let me introduce first:
I’m 55 years old, living in Germany and a Cobra enthusiast for decades.
I went all the years along with different replicas.
Until now I was reader (reader-only) of the ACOC-forum for month and I got many useful information from. (Congratulation to this qualified forum and the experienced members) and with help of Bryan I can communicate via the forum from now on :-)).
Beginning this year I decided to go for a more original Cobra.
I believe a MK IV is the best for me, as this reflects the compromise between budget and historical bloodline back to the original best for me.
(Yes I’m aware of the discussion what is an original and not – I will do it my way - anyway :-)) ) .
I let pass some opportunities to buy a Mk IV in the last month to learn more about the market and now dedected in my neighbourhood a car for sale, however the car is confusing me a little bit.
By registration it is AK 1073, VIN SA9AK3023HA017073.
It should be a pure Mk IV, however it has some details of a lightweight-version respectively it is heavy modified in the style of an 427 S/C car.
AK 1073 is - to my knowledge - NOT described in the SAAC registry.
In detail:
The car is LHD (and I believe just from the beginning, as footboxes have unequal length and drivers side (left) is deeper than passenger side)
The car is equipped with stainless steel sidepipes, single rollbar and 15”(!!)-Halibrand-style wheels (knock off) and bucket seats without any head rest.
The dash is 427-style equipped with Smith Instruments (Classic range, chrome bezel).
On the right rear fender you can find a recessed (!!) build in big Le Man fuel cap.
The fuel tank is build in flat under the luggage compartment.
The doors have the typical Lightweight equipment with MGTF door latch and no strengthening bar through the door (!!)
It has a heater build in – however I couldn’t see any knobs to control the heater (inside the glove box
)
The footboxes (on the motor compartment side) are covered completely with a second layer of aluminium (I believe some insulation in between) and unfortunately no signs, chassis plate, identification plates or whatsoever are to be seen.
The VIN-No is stamped on the frame (to be seen in the motor compartment) and the AK-No is also to be seen at the top of the left front suspension.
By registration it is a car from 1987 – therefore it should NOT be a “Lightweight”……however who put such a huge effort into a conversion of the fuel cap (recessed, relocation of the fuel inlet to the tank) and the doors only to get an 427 S/C style car??
Due to my confusion I would like to ask you whether you know anything about AK 1073 – any information is welcome inter alia what has been the original configuration.
Many Thanks.
