It's not actually. It's a one-of-<1000 Cobra, but a 1-of-??? pre-AutoKraft RHD 289. Registered february 1970. AC made the narrow-fender 289 until late '69.

MOT checker lists it as replica.
Engine size looks suspiciously like Rover V8

This is not going well is it.

Here's another. an MG GTB Le Mans. Saw this at the Belgravia Classic Car show (which I didn't know existed until I passed it one day)

No MG in that pic.

And it's a replica. Not of an MG, but of what it's supposed to be.

Is it a genuine Rover engine?

My mate Buick says so.......

sorry, had to change my username due to rule 18. the AC is legit, but I'm afraid I forgot the name of the Le Mans car above and just remembered it as an MG. I thought i took a photo of the info sheet on the screen but can't find it right now.

[Pericoloso]

If the AC is legit,why does the word replica appear on the MOT checker ?
Why does it have a Rover engine ?
Why am I flogging a dead horse ?

Tisnt, ‘tis T5

'Twas a Spitfire when 'twas built.

And, just for chelsea9899, it's a Triumph, not an MG.

I prefer the Aurelia next to it.

Here's a beauty I spotted just a little while ago. A really rare RHD Cobra.

Pity it's a replica.

Hawk 289 would be my guess.

[Pericoloso]

What's the car claimed to be an Excalibur ?...... An SSK ?

It's an Excalibur SS. An SSK pastiche.

Yep, you could spot that from 50ft. away. Do get upset when people put Cobra badges on a replica.
