DESCRIPTION
We are pleased to offer here a fine replica of the original AC Cobra by RAM Automotive. RAM are the only manufacturer of recreation Cobras to reportedly boast endorsement from Carroll Shelby himself for their accuracy in their design making RAM Cobra's the finest copies available.Constructed in the mid-1990s from the RAM kit, by first owner, Mr P. Cook of Ashbourne, Derbyshire, the fibreglass body of this car is coated in deep Metallic Blue paint with a comfortable Black leather interior. The chassis design from the "manufacturer' is credited to the famous race car designer, Adrian Reynard. Fitted with the J.E. developments 5200cc all-aluminium Rover-based V8 powerplant which is itself equipped with four downdraught Dellorto carburettors, the output on the dyno registers a healthy and potentially hair-raising 319bhp output at 4,250 rpm.
Running gear is courtesy of Jaguar including the E-Type limited slip differential. This capable car is also fitted with upgraded suspension by the respected Harvey Bailey Engineering company, plus uprated front and rear springs and anti-roll bars with Koni dampers.
Although previously road-registered and constructed in the mid-1990s from a Jaguar donor car, this car is now sold strictly as a track-day or non-road legal vehicle. Whilst we are exceptionally confident of the car's ability to pass an MoT test, it's claimed identity as a Jaguar means it has been refused to be tested. A new owner is more than welcome, indeed encouraged, to submit this car for an SVA test which it will almost certainly pass, and therefore an MoT could be granted. Guided accordingly to take this into consideration, and at this price surely shouldn't be ignored.
