Mike Test Drives A Classic AC Cobra | Wheeler Dealers

Mike is on the hunt for the classic AC Cobra, but unfortunately his budget doesn't stretch that far. Will he be able to find a standout replica for a fraction of the price?

Mike Brewer... what an exciting person he lifts up people's spirits

[@BanginGearsGarage]

I bought myself a Cobra 2 years ago..... and I drive it just like that, every chance I get!

[@ravenousbane3617]

Bangin' Gears originals tend to be veryyy expensive, so is it a replica? If it’s real then fair play.

[@BanginGearsGarage]

@@ravenousbane3617 yes it's a Factory Five Replica

[@xBrabus76]

Wow u must get alotta girls!

[@arranshirovay4064]

Hey I love the fact the Ignition starts at 4:27 into the video like a 427 cu in engine. You guys really made the best Cobra video I've ever seen online.

[@AlanAttack]

Mike driving like a boss !

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

4:26 I've seen those six switches on Ikarus & Optare bus dashboards, even a few T8 Van Hool coaches I've driven. They actually don't look out of place in this

[@peterstevenson5418]

Drive it like you stole it and steer from the rear love it

[@xDivinitysCreaturex]

Mike you done us Cobra Bois proud

[@MT-lq9fq]

Haha now that's a getaway be fun to have on a sunny day

[@ilriparabici7004]

4:48 listen to this !! 😍😍😍

[@ljkoh20052000able]

Man he is going nuts with happiness

[@oscardmacias]

I love Chevy small block engines But the Cobra needs a Ford 427 engine!!

[@wellingtoncifuentes6781]

I can't argue with that. I love big block chevy but the car's original 427 ford engine and its sound are the essence of that car.

[@johnwh1039]

Its not a Cobra. Its a replica so doesn't really matter

[@stu1944]

632 chevy for me thanks 😊

[@sniperdogz7658]

This car is forsale see it the other day 36900 big mark up on that

[@lapamful]

That was epic! Haha

[@paulbeswetherick4261]

Where is this car now. MOT records show it hasnt been tested since 2011

[@assistantto007]

If you watch the whole episode - youll see that the tyres werent fitted ABSOLUTELY correctly. The dots on the sidewall of tyres indicates the heavy piont of the reunforcement section of the bead - and the tyre should ideally be fitted to the rim with the valve opposite the bead joint dot..

[@joepiol5105]

Nope. The dot on the tire should be lined up with the valve stem. That puts the heavy point of the tire on the lightest part of the rim, which allows less lead to be added to the rim for balance. Sometimes the wheels can be run with no lead, but if you take them in for balancing, the technician will throw lead on anyway. He won't want to tell you that you just paid for balancing, but no balancing was needed.

[@bobbarrett2631]

As he is determined to flat spot the tyres (5:26) we can only assume that they will be replaced ???

[@feriazril885]

I love car wd

[@urgentcareguy3]

Meh....needs FERD ENGINE. That's right, a damn FERD!

[@theodor12]

Is it just me or does this replica have some weird proprtions? The body is too long and too low.

[@prorace_type_r]

Never taken to the track

[@arranshirovay4064]

A if i was Stuart i want to chin him 2 MIke!!!! pipe down so i can hear that engine, i know you're excited, we all are. 4 Thanks Mike & Stu for solidifying what i already thought i wanted out of life ;D C Thing of beauty :O

[@mclare9817]

I wouldent abuse a car like that on T -drive. Just sayin..

[@Robertfyfe62]

Absolute sacrilege putting a Chevy in this car!

[@jefferysmom696]

*Who lets someone Test drive their car like that ??...What if he Spun a Rod or wrecked it???*

[@culcune]

It was probably edited to look like he hadn't bought it yet; this was probably after the deal was made.

[@johnwh1039]

If he did that test driving a car of mine before buying he'd end up in A&E

[@boatburnerice7925]

wow..you fucked that guy..I would of bought the car and shipped it to Canadafor that price

[@andrewhigdon8346]

Wow. A Chevy V8 in a Cobra replica? Maybe if that’s what you had laying around. I’m sure it’s fun to drive but that doesn’t excuse the transgression. I guess if I had the same setup I’d drive it like that on EVERY ERRAND. Wait, I have a Dodge Magnum and I do that anyway. Well. Not like that.

[@rockytalkndawoods3057]

Seams sacrilege to have a bowtie in a cobra. I think it's an english thing because in America you couldn't sell it for the parts.

[@jasonpavlak3635]

@@rockytalkndawoods3057 The most common engines put in these self built kits are Chevy small blocks, usually a 350. Same holds true for the 32 ford deuce

[@rockytalkndawoods3057]

@@jasonpavlak3635 common in england, definitely not the USA.

[@ilovejapanesemusic3858]

No reason to finishing the episode , it's got a Chevy motor in it !!what what a knucklehead!!

[@ONTHEEDGEFRED]

That's me. I chose to come down through here and see some of the comments, But, I didn't even watch any more Of the video once I saw it had a chevy engine in it.

[@rockytalkndawoods3057]

Why are Chevy engines in the cobra? If it had a ford it would easy go for 30k +

[@KartsAgainstHumanity]

The Chevy engines are much more available, much cheaper, parts are easier to get and it does a decent job of emulating a ford engine. If you care about originality you'd go for a ford, but if you care just about the experience, the Chevy engine makes the most financial sense

[@keefardin612]

HMMMM WHY IS THE NUMBER PLATE DIFFERANT ON THE SOLD CAR ,,, DID YOU SELL THE NUMBER PLATE MIKE , IT WAS WORTH A BOMB ,,, ACC 809A AS OPPOSED TO THE NUMBER PLATE YOU SOLD THE CAR ON ON WHEELER DEALERS, ,,, NAUGHTY BOY ,, OR WAS THAT THE NEW NUMBER PLATE FROM THE DVLA? IF SO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OLD NUMBER PLATE????

[@beedee9534]

Put a chevy in a cobra must be broke 427 side oiler is it

[@TheMarsMarine]

Where's your Cobra?🤣

[@Necronaut]

About 100 horsepower less than a real Cobra. Hilarious.

[@paulroberts3550]

which one? a 260, 289 or 427?? they are all real cobras.

[@unknownapplication10]

yeah and about 10 milliıon pound less
