Hilton & Moss are pleased to present this lightweight sportscar that combines the effortless styling of a true automotive icon in the AC Cobra with the innovation of British engineering by way of the Lotus 3.5 litre powerplant., The body of this Cobra was built as a one-piece carbon-fibre moulding providing not only the strength of carbon fibre, but also the lightweight characteristics meaning the car weighs just 900kg overall. A bespoke carbon-fibre hardtop was made for the car in 2010 by its then owner, who wanted to drive the car to Le Mans whilst having a degree of protection from the elements., The black Alcantara bucket seats provide support to the occupants, with a red suede Momo steering wheel creating a focal point against the black Alcantara dashboard. The door cards are also finished in black Alcantara, with a deep black carpet completing the interior. A weather kit also comes with the car allowing the cockpit to be covered when the hardtop is not fitted., At the heart of the car, you'll find the 3.5-litre Lotus Esprit twin-turbo V8. Producing 350hp the car accelerates from 0-60mph in 4 seconds, 100mph in 9 seconds and on to a top speed of 155mph. The power is supplied by a pair of Garrett T25 turbochargers and is driven to the rear wheels through a Tremec T56 six-speed gearbox, AP Racing clutch and a BTR Hydratrack limited-slip differential with a 3.73:1 final drive. The car also features power assisted steering. The '212' name is derived from the engines 212 cubic inch capacity, continuing the trend of naming Cobra's after their engine capacities., Having covered just 24,000 miles, the car has a comprehensive history file, documenting its ownership and extensive service history over the years., An instantly recognisable classic, this Cobra 212 presents a rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of Cobra history.
