1988 SPORTS COBRA

This Pilgrim Sumo Cobra Mk3 is a superbly presented example of the iconic Cobra-style roadster.

Powered by the highly desirable 5.7L Chevrolet V8, this car delivers in the region of 300bhp, offering the ideal balance between performance and drivability. The combination of lightweight chassis and V8 power ensures the full Cobra experience—fast, visceral, and unmistakably characterful.

This is a client-built example, not factory assembled, however it has clearly been put together to a strong standard and benefits from ongoing care and maintenance with ourselves and other recognised specialists.

Key details:

Just 8,997 miles from new

3 owners

Long MOT

Strong service history with ourselves and specialist workshops

Proven Ford Sierra-based running gear

Iconic Pilgrim ladder frame chassis

Desirable rear exit side pipes

A notable feature on this car is its set of smaller Halibrand-style wheels, which not only enhance the period-correct Cobra aesthetic, but also improve ride compliance. The taller tyre sidewalls provide a more forgiving and comfortable driving experience without compromising handling feel.

Also included is Pilgrim’s wet weather roof kit, featuring a mohair soft top—making the car far more usable if the weather changes unexpectedly.

This is a Cobra that delivers exactly what enthusiasts want: raw V8 character, classic styling, strong provenance, and real-world usability.
