What is the AK427 Cobra Replica REALLY Like?

CLOTHING: adamc.teemill.com
I take @beaulieu_garage's AK427 AC Cobra replica out for a spin around the fantastic roads of the New Forest and use my knowledge of my Dax Tojeiro to compare what it is like.

"The interior is very different aswell.. We'll come on to that later" - Adam C, 2020.

After watching monkey London it is!

Hehehe

Absolute respect to you and what you know and what your parents have taught you.

"Than my one" ❤️

[@James-C24]

How do you get the black license plates? Wanting to scratch build db5 one day. From what ive looked at you need to keep a lot of the Donor car.

[@scoobydooz6575]

Noted the BL stalks from the Marina/Alegro Ect

[@lukeb8429]

Great video adam

[@michaelg8237]

Yours is mint bro seeing yours has made me change my dream car💯👍🏻

[@colinellison762]

Great Video Adam, That beautiful AK is Gen 1, and is slightly smaller inside (fine for me) because of the wide tunnel, the later Gen's have a narrower tunnel so a bit wider inside (not that you need it! lol), i think the column on that one is a Ford, mine is a Rover and has in and out, as well as up and down movement, so i sit at arms length, its also made for a much taller person than me, so i have spacers on the pedals, as i sit away from the wheel, mine also benefits from hydraulic PWS, that i would recommend to anyone. Keep up the great work with your passion for all things Cobra!

[@1996BulletProof]

That indicator stalk looks very similar to my 1988 defender 😂

[@Connor123J]

Looks like the Triumph dolomite set up I had on mine

[@joegoodman4312]

Greetings from, hopefully another southerner and new subscriber. 2 things, first thing, you having a Cobra of some description restores my faith in younger motor heads having genuine taste, thank goodness. Second thing, where did you get the jacket? All the best, stay safe.

[@-Dash-]

Staggered wheel setup is nice. I would def have to have wider rears than fronts...

[@deanstark7144]

Love the thumbnail 💪

[@LordTwaddle]

I kinda like the sound, the gearbox whine is a nice extra audible touch to the experience.

[@LayItDownTV]

Awesome video Adam! Love the honesty in the review! You inspired me to get behind the camera and I set up a automotive KZbin channel, Thank you 🤘 Let me know what you think of it ?

[@petyrkowalski9887]

I prefer under body pipes and the more classic look but all cobras are amazing.

[@kevinwells768]

Nice vid, like the comparison with the Dax. Did you find the steering a bit heavier at low speed?

[@AdamC3046]

Yeh definitely

[@thepowerofthegodhand7003]

Dope jacket by the way where did u get it ? I live in the US though.

[@AdamC3046]

Zara

[@joshuamorris2784]

Great Video dude! Tried finding that jacket btw with no luck 😂 Looked at Zara too, you got a name or link Adam?

[@AdamC3046]

It was many years ago that I bought it

[@mrnicktoyou]

I have always wanted to buy one of these but seeing the tiny interior, I could never now. He'll, I sold my S2000 because that had a small interior but this is even smaller.

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

The spec is very nice. Much closer to the genuine cars than most replicas. Shelby originally wanted a Chevy V8 for the cobra but they didn’t want to supply an engine to a corvette competitor so he went to ford.

[@AdamC3046]

Correct, a fact I often inform the 'Ford boys' when they shout at me.

[@groundbeef662]

When comparing to a modern, you said no heating , but my AK has a heater, noticed the fan switch on the dash so wonder if this one does too ?

[@AdamC3046]

Yeh perhaps this one does. I didn't consider it too much as I'm used to my one, which doesn't have heating. But I know a lot use heater units from old Minis.

[@groundbeef662]

@@AdamC3046 Yeah i think the AK uses a VW Polo one, didnt build mine so not 100%sure, i think Pilgrim used to use Mini i am sure some of the older builds i have seen have the old mini slider thingy on the dash. I have had a couple of MGBGT V8's they didnt need a heater as that Rover V8 used to warm you up through the bulkhead nicely lol

[@-GRHD-]

Hey Adam, I’m interested in what the 0-60 is roughly in your cobra? Since it’s fibreglass I’d imagine it’s extremely light!

[@AdamC3046]

I don't actually know. Maybe in the 4s

[@-GRHD-]

nice! Maybe one day I’ll have one

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

I was looking at that Cobra the other day down there. Was the dodgy looking white V6 mustang there when you were?

[@AdamC3046]

Yeh, it was around the back as they hadn't put it up for sale yet. However they have now sold it.

[@thejinxeffect]

@@AdamC3046 just under 8k that went up for.

[@jase6370]

Enjoyed the review thanks. I would take issue with you though over the chevy engine. A ford 302 is more compact and just as tuneable and certainly no more expensive. Never understood why people put chevys in a cobra

[@uk285]

jase6370 Chevy’s are a lot cheaper and easier to get parts for than a Ford in the UK

[@jase6370]

@@uk285 i disagree , ive rebuilt many 302's and if you compare prices from real steel theres no difference

Seriously a chevy in a Cobra..first I've heard of it and disgraceful..

Your side pipes on yours do you burn your legs on the side pipes?

Not if you don't touch them

[@derekwall5570]

There were two stunning things in this video that i want, the shelby and that jacket, i cant afford the car but i can probably afford the jacket, does anyone know what that jacket is called or where i could get it from i think its stunning

weight of the car? Ideas?
