Interested in buying a Cobra!!!

Post by malinkovskid »

Dear Sirs/Madams,

I'm interested in buying an AC Cobra/Cobra replica/or chassis.
The car must be Left Hand Drive, must have all the papers and must have homologation so I can import it in my country.
I prefer if the car is from Europe.

Please contact me on my mail: malinkovski.d@gmail.com
Your soonest reply will be appreciated.

Best regards,
David Malinkovski

Hi David. Could your budget stretch to a Real AC? There`s the CRS Prototype on eBay at the moment, which is LHD, but could be had for the same price as a Top Hawk FiA!
Good luck, Nik.

It seems rather odd that you can see the front wheel through the nose opening. :?

Dear god, look at that interior.

It's amazing what just slapping 'made by AC' can do for a car. I don't rate these things at all - a decent replica would be a far better car. But then I'm biased.
If 'genuinely made by AC' is more important than what you're actually buying, I'm in the wrong hobby. Bring on the Invacars/golf buggies/wheelchairs! - all genuine ACs, and therefore much better than any replica Cobra.

Completely agree Roger. The Lightweights weren't too bad, but the standard Mk.IV's were horrible and used the cheapest components they could find. The aluminium bodies look okay when they're painted, notwithstanding their overall shape, but they're full of filler to get them anything like straight and there's no way you could leave one unpainted.
I personally wouldn't thank you for one, let alone pay good money for it.

They have a very different shape I think. Not my cup of tea.

Being a CRS, this presumably isn't even aluminium!
