Hi guys, I thought I’d share a few pictures of the car I brought on a total whim at last years Goodwood Festival Of Speed, I honestly went to buy a hat because of the sun and ended up with a Cobra. It’s a AK replica fitted with a 6.2 ltr tuned LS3 engine with just over 540bhp. Best impulse buy ever I absolutely love the car and driving it smile

Beautiful, would love one of these as a weekend toy.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay?

No problem, it was 54k which I think is a more than fair price. It’s a 2019 car with only 300 miles on the clock. One of main reason I just went for it is (current situation withstanding) the almost zero depreciation these cars have smile

It’s so easy, it just slides down the windscreen pillars and sits on the bodywork. It then bolts through either side of the pillars and in two places into the bodywork. Literally takes 5 minutes smile supplied by 427 HardTops in Essex.

This picture tells the whole story. My mates said I looked like such a tt they wanted to take a pic to show my Mrs. If you look at the reflection in my glasses you can actually see my soon to be car that I’d not even seen yet , the shop I got the hat from is in the background smile it was just meant to be.

That is stunning perfect summer day car. A cobra has been one of my all time favourite cars since seeing one at classic car show when I was about 10! Are the AK based on a jaguar chassis? If my numbers ever come up superformance will be one of my first visits...



They also do a stunning 289 slabside cloud9

That is cool, I’ve seen AK’s green car quite a few times as they’re based local to me.
