We are delighted to offer for sale this beautiful AC Cobra Lightweight.
Built at historical Brooklands race track in Weybridge surrey, first registered 26th August 1994.
These wonderful hand built sports cars were produced using traditional coach building methods, such as a hand built ladder frame chassis through to the hand made aluminium body, all this using traditional skills and tooling.
Each lightweight engine is individually hand assembled, interiors trimmed with finest leathers and carpets.
AC Cars / AutoKraft claim each car had over 2500 man hours go into manufacturing each car.
Lightweight examples have always been a very rare and a desirable Cobra to own due to limited numbers built. The similar traits to a MkIII body, to the raw sound from the stage 3 tuned Ford V8 engine make these the Cobra to own amongst Cobra and classic car enthusiasts.
The stunning example we offer today was first registered 26th August 1994 – finished in Zinc metallic silver, red leather interior with matching piping, 5 speed gearbox, drivers chrome roll bar, stone guards.
Not to be mistaken with later AC Cobra MKIV’S this is a FULL BLOWN Lightweight specification motorcar, these limited number motorcars holding the very important “L” in their chassis number. Later lightweights built for Super Hawaii were spec’d with a 3 speed heater, inertia reel seat belts, a semi lightweight dash with modern warning lights and switch gear.
“Lightweight” is a lighter version of the MkIV – with the following: lighter chassis, MkIII aluminium shape body, MkIII style interior including the original switches & warning lights, MkIII steering column & wood rim steering wheel hand made by Mota Lita, stage 3 small block Ford 302 V8 carburettor engine producing estimated 320 BHP
Today presented in extremely good condition with little over 6, 600 miles boasting a truly superb factory specification including many original features such as signed rear body panel by the craftsman panel beater “Gordon Berry” , the panel beaters after making a complete rear end would sign off their work by signed the inside of a rear wing, this was only on the Lightweight model.
All in all a beautiful Cobra to admire or to be enjoyed on any open road.
