SHELBY Cobra 427

1966 SHELBY COBRA 427 - UK Reg. No. COB 3 One of just five genuine 1960’s Shelby 427 Cobras in the UK, the only one in Right Hand Drive, with a mere four owners and 15,400 miles from new, Reg. No. COB 3 and in total 'Concours’ condition. CSX 3234 was imported into the UK from California in 1971 and restored and converted to Right Hand Drive by AC Cars Ltd. in Thames Ditton the same year. It then acquired the Reg. No. 427 COB and was featured in many books and magazine articles. Subsequently sold to Switzerland and reimported and restored again by AutoKraft/AC Cars in the late 1980’s, still retaining its original chassis and twin-carb. '427 S/C' spec. 485 bhp side-oiler engine etc., with new panel work, but now with Reg. No. COB 3. Upon completion it immediately became the 1990 AC Owners’ Club 40th Anniversary ‘Champion of Champions’ Concours outright winner - just 500 miles since. Actively stored from 1995 till the present, just serviced and thoroughly checked over by Thunder Road Speed Shop (plus brand new tyres, fuel tank and hydraulics etc.) with fresh MOT, this spectacular and mind-shatteringly quick Cobra has full weather equipment, car cover and comprehensive documented history including lengthy correspondence with the original Californian owner. It is still in Show-winning condition in every respect.
