Yes,
We will have it at SAAC as well as the London Cobra Show. And a few other events. It will be a roller at these events but will be powered and burning gas and crushin' bugs ASAP.
Looking forward to talking cars and telling tales with everybody....................

Beautiful!!!
I have been looking for some SPF slabside photos for a friend... do you mind if I use these ;-) Perhaps an engine bay and some suspension shots so we can see some more of that great craftsmanship?

I took a close look at the slabside during my visit to Pomona last weekend and I can tell you it’s simply stunning. It shows extremely well, even when surrounded by the original cars…. And that’s with the hood up too. If you’re interested in owning a Cobra that looks and drives like the original 289’s, I suggest you add this one to your must-see list.

Looks nice, thanks for the pictures.
What instrumentation does it have? I think they are SWs, but the bezels look a little bulky and I can't quite make out the detail when I zoom up.
Colour is good too....is it Viking Blue?
Cheers,
Glen

Glen,
Yes, they are the vintage Stewart-Warners as used in the second production batch of 289s.
The color is not Viking Blue, it was intended to be Princess Blue but a glitch in changing from the PPG code to the Glasurit used at the factory resulted in an "offset" color from Volvo that is more of a "slate" color but still quite nice and very period. As the car was required to ship to Switzerland for showing there was not time to re-do the paint. I think we will get some orders for this color one it has been seen on the car!
Jim, I will forward full file of photos for the website shortly.....
Some pictures of the chassis delvelopment follow.

Talk about badge-engineering!
This looks like the same car that AC were showing at the Geneva Motorshow in March as the 'AC Mk11 Classic' - Superformance and AC both being built at Hi Tech.
