AC COBRA for sale

Is indeed Ian's car.
Square tube chassis,
This car was at Ian's factory when I visited before ordering in 2010,

It Had some minor body damage to front RH guard, when i picked my kit up in January 2011.

Next chassis mk. after Ian's square tube version was the round tube, current version, although a few minor bracketry tweaks since to radiator mount etc.
The big difference between the 2 versions is chassis design, and suspension type and geometry.
Others can tell you about the square tube version, but the later version uses custom upper and lower front arms, VZ knuckles and re-positioned steering rack.
The rear uses custom upper arm, VE lower forward and trailing arms, knuckles, VE diff with shortened custom axle shafts.
The round tubes look like a solid handler on the track from recent exploits and others have fine tuned mods that have improved the square tube handling, refer Aussie Mike, Boxhead and others on here.
All that being said,
I have been in Ian's car and it went and handled like a cut cat.!

Dave
