A rare opportunity to own an exceptionally built 1996 Shamrock AC Cobra, meticulously crafted to capture the soul and style of the original 1960s icon. With only 10,670 km from new, this stunning roadster has been lightly driven and lovingly cared for — a true collector’s piece with the performance to match its presence.
Finished in a deep dark metallic blue, the paintwork exudes a commanding yet elegant presence, perfectly complementing the classic Cobra body lines. The car sits on Hallibrand-style replica wheels, giving it the aggressive stance and vintage motorsport look true to the Cobra heritage.
Under the bonnet lies a Ford 351 Cleveland V8, known for its robust power delivery and unmistakable muscle car character. Paired with a Holley carburettor, this setup ensures a raw, responsive driving experience. The engine is mated to a 4-speed Ford Top Loader manual gearbox — the very transmission used in the original AC Cobras — offering a direct and engaging connection to the road.
Additional Features:
Full weather equipment, including a quality soft top and removable side windows, making it suitable for both sunny weekend drives and more unpredictable conditions
Side-exit exhausts delivering the unmistakable Cobra growl
Classic Smiths-style instrumentation and period-correct interior touches
Registered and road-ready, ideal for collectors, weekend drivers, or classic car enthusiasts seeking an analog driving experience
