AK Sportscars are rightly lauded for one of the finest AC Cobra recreations available today with a reputation for sound engineering, excellent quality and attention to detail. This AK Cobra is one of their “427” models due to the authentic Cobra 427 body shape and exhaust set up. The third generation supa lite chassis is lighter than the Gen II and uses a tubular element in the design that has stiffened the chassis offering superb handling for the more performance demanding owner making the Cobra more than capable on the track.
