autocraft ac cobra
Just after info on the cars
I was told their a UK built car Are they a good thing ? Was there a standard chassis and suspension that was used |
Yes, awesome cars, built in Surrey, from what I understand they are considered real cobras...I think 300 were built and Lynn Park has a body from Autocraft for one of his 1965 cobras that was wreck and rebodied in aluminum...again I may be wrong...

It WAS a "Cobra" in the UK and other places. Ford granted a license to use the trademarks and name on the car. It could not be used in the US however due to product liability issues (I know, I was involved) and the license was revoked after AC/Autokraft was resold to Pride Automotive. |

it is "Autokraft" and Brian Angliss was the owner. He later became not just a licensee of AC Cars, but the owner of AC as well.

Looking for Autocraft Cobra
Are there any autocrat cobras for sale at present time?
thanks |
There's one in Melbourne Australia but it's on hold for me for when I win Powerball. ;)

Brian re-bodied a few cars in his day.
They were a car sold through Ford dealers, kinda the red headed stepchild of these cars. I love them, some do not... Different interiors Different front nose slope Different rear lights Different side markers 302 motors some FI some carb 5 spd 16" wheels All alloy, still a great car.... Probably the only car I would get rid of mine for.. Short of original :) |

Try this for an option? Kinda pricey, though:eek:.
Want a "new" original AC Cobra? - FFCars.com : Factory Five Racing Discussion Forum |
Duttons have this one, not sure on price.
1987 AC Cobra Autokraft MK IV http://duttongarage.com/img/24535/10...&w=2000&h=2000 |
I had an '86 Autokraft and it was a great car. Drove as it should but in the end, only an FE would do ;)
Mark IV, I remember the hood was particularly heavy and the body work flawless. Could the hood have been double skinned? I can't remember... |

in the 80th and 90th they were very popular in europe, a bling-bling "rich"- mans toy, the most were really ugly, 80th interior, safety equipment due to registration issues, to me they were really looking like the worst lookalike replicas , but there a some " lightweight" models that came with quite exact mk lll specs ....
