AC Cobra
A very well put together Southern Road craft 427 AC cobra (5.7 chevy). This has to be one of the best put together AC cobras we have come across. Southern roadcraft engineered their cobras to be as much like the 427 Shelby as possible. Regarded by many as the best AC, this vehicle vehicle is registered in 1972 so also qualifies for UlEZ exemption, MOT and Tax exemption due to its age.
