Description
Spectacular 1 of only 10 2004 David Whitehurst Racing (DWR) Lightweight shell Cobras produced equipped with a stretched 351 windsor, the strokes been increased from 3. 5" to 4", with all forged and steel internals, Roller cam and rockers, built with only the best that was available at the time it was built. Good for around 400bhp and a 1/ 4 mile in 9. 8 seconds on road tyres gives you an idea.
Originally built by David and Julian Whitehurst for Sebring International in 2004 at the cost of 54000 back then shows how serious the car is, after only covering 1800 miles (not 18000 as an idiot MOT tester has stated) we have recommissioned the car after been stood in a warehouse for nearly 10 years, the vehicle has also just been tuned after a carb rebuild.
Some of the build highlights include the as new Raynard Designed Chassis that allows the vehicle to run a 1980's number plate, that incredible engine built by DWR a proper T10 Top Loader Gearbox, Jag Locker rear end and XJS brakes all round, Gaz fully adjustable coilovers (still with the original tape on them from when David & Julian built and set up the car 20 years ago) 15" image split rims (knock off spinners included) and genuine brand new Goodyear Billboard Tyres.
The car can be MOT'd purely for peace of mind for the new owner if required even though it is MOT Excempt, with a manufacturers number plate from 1980.
As much as it looks like & sounds like a vintage race car, it has never been used competitively and hasn't even covered 2000 miles, the vehicle came to us on BF Goodrich Road tyres (included in the sale if required) and 0 livery at all only the grey stripes are painted on but we thought the vehicle would benefit looking as purposeful as it actually is but it can easily be returned to a more solemn look by removing the vinyl.
Well as solemn as a yellow tuned V8 Cobra can be anyhow, absolutely not for the shy and retiring or faint hearted after a drive in this it is fair to say it is one serious machine.
One incredible vintage looking sports car, running a serious motor that has been built properly with a catalogue of great engine, brake and chassis parts.
