Description

A genuine AC Cobra 212 S/C. Built in 2000 at the Brooklands AC factory to the very highest spec using world-first, pioneering technology. One of 2 in the world! My Cobra has a 3.5L twin turbo Lotus V8 engine and a single-mould, Formula 1 grade carbon fibre body - the first of it's kind in the world. My actual Cobra has been featured in various TV car programmes and magazines, including Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson's All-Time Top 100 Cars, Car magazine, Evo, Octane and Top Gear magazine. In 2001, my Cobra was the pace car at the UK's first ever NASCAR race at Rockingham Speedway. All videos and media coverage available on request.
