Yes, Kirkham made a deal with the old MIG factory in Poland for them to handcraft the bodies as AC formerly did in the UK. The Kirkham kit is the best on the market and if correctly built would be indistinguisable from an original unless you were an expert. A beautiful car, nice guys, but their knowledge on Cobras does seem a little limited. Incidently, Carol Shelby always wanted to use fibre glass bodies (as in the Corvettes of the time) to gain an even better weight advantage, but Ford would never condone it. I'm currently running a 427 with in excess of 600bhp, it's a huge handful, God knows what 1000bhp in such a light car is like. 😎

The original Cobra was the AC. The first one "Shelby" cobras were 289-ers, later he made some 427, but generally the 289 was a better car. He made two supercherged too, one of them killed its owner. It had 800 hp. (I have a "Gardner-Douglas" 427 Cobra with 600Hp which is way more than enough, and the GD has way-way better handling behavior than the original ones had)

Its either shelby cobra or an Ac cobra. Not both... shelbys were built in the US, .. AC cobras were built ubln the uk
@johnny427 Жыл бұрын
The chassy came from the AC factory, Shelby just put the engine to it, so it is not a huge mistake, it just sounds lame a little

I will let you debate that with the owner as well as Kirkham, the licensed Cobra builder. Thanks for watching and your "history" lesson. Cheers. 😆

Im jealous of Americans. In Europe everyone will just shake their head and say No. It is not possible to drive this car. WHY NOT????? LOOK - THIS GUY CAN DRIVE IT. YOU CAN DRIVE THIS CAR. IT RUNS - THEREFORE ITS DRIVABLE. No. You are in violation of 150 laws for driving this car. And one of them states YOU SHALL NOT HAVE ANY FUN WHILE DRIVING. JOY IS FORBIDDEN.

Well Pj S. It is not a bloody kit car mate. It is a purpose built Cobra from Kirkham Cobras. Maybe you didn't watch the video and paid attention to what the owner stated. Watch it again. Cheers. 😆
