Following its creation in 1961, the AC Cobra quickly developed a large following due to its signature look, V8 power and soundtrack and race track success. This has only grown in the six decades since, however their rarity and rising value has meant that fewer are seen on the road. In an effort to allow fans of the original to experience such a special piece of automotive history, a number of companies began to build recreations of the car using a similar chassis and drivetrain to the original. These cars have become sought after due to offering many of the thrills of the 60s original but at a lower entry point to the market. Hawk, a British company have gained a trusted reputation for building accurate and reliable recreations to the highest standard and for a variety of uses from FIA compliant race cars to the roadgoing example seen here.
This AC Cobra 289 evocation by Hawk here for sale at Autostorico is a 2002 Registered example. This outstanding example is powered by a 3. 5 Litre V8 with an Edelbrook carburettor and Pan air filter. Completed in Black paint with complimenting black leather interior, this 4 owner car is presented in wonderful condition having just been machine polished and ceramic coated.
