1974 – AC Cobra 3.5 – £16995

Discover a rare piece of automotive history with this 1974 AC Cobra replica, a Southern Roadcraft SRV8 that promises both classic charm and potential for personalization. Built on a factory rolling chassis using a Jaguar XJ6 as a donor car in 1987, this unique vehicle boasts a robust Rover V8 3.5l engine fitted with a Holley carburettor. As a ‘Historic Vehicle’ for taxation purposes, it’s exempt from road tax and MOT, making it an attractive option for classic car enthusiasts looking for an affordable and characterful project.

Currently SORN and having been garaged for the past five years, this Cobra offers an exciting opportunity for someone looking to breathe new life into a classic. While not in show condition, the fibreglass body is free from rust, and the car comes with both a cream toneau cover and a black soft top. The current owner has priced it attractively to sell, recognizing its potential to be worth significantly more with some tender loving care. Importantly for urban drivers, this classic car is ULEZ compliant, adding to its practicality and appeal. Note that the car currently needs some mechanical attention, as it turns over but won’t start, suggesting potential fuel line issues. Inspections are welcome, making this an ideal project for a passionate classic car enthusiast.
