Description

AK1220 was purchased new by the first owner in November 1987. The car was ordered in Jaguar Westminster Blue with Burgundy Connolly Leather, Burgundy Wilton carpets and a special steering wheel boss that he had made by a local engineering company believed to be one of only 2 cars that had this boss fitted to allow the steering wheel to sit in a far more comfortable position, slightly closer to the driver. The engine was a 'standard' Ford Mustang 5.0 V8 302 Cu. In. HO unit, but specially ordered with Holley carburettors and decat to give circa 245bhp. This was a £1,200 option at the time and produced 20bhp above the standard Efi engine. The car was fitted from factory with a Mota Lita wood rim steering and gear knob, glass wind wings, 16 inch black hallibrand alloy wheels with 3 spoke spinners, chrome stone guards, Pioneer Radio/Cassette, full wet weather gear and tonneau cover in everflex. The car was sent back to the AC factory where it had a 'Stage 3' SVO Lightweight Engine Modification with alloy cylinder heads, roller cam, larger valves, Holley carburettor and big bore free-flow exhaust system; this raised the power to circa 345bhp at a cost of £8,500. At the same time cast finned alloy rocker covers were fitted. It is believed to be 1 of only 20 RHD 'Stage 3' SVO lightweight engine conversions' carried out by the factory. The original invoice for this work is present in the history files. We have known this car since 2010 and have sold it every time up to the present day. This wonderful AC Cobra 302 MK1V now sits in our showroom in the same stunning condition as the first time we purchased it!, The car comes complete with an extensive and detailed history file, the original Owners handbook, service receipts, MOTs, Original brochure, Original Jack and spare wheel. The car is as it left the factory when new back in 1987 and in 1990 after the SVO conversion, totally original and unmolested, it is undoubtedly the very best example of this very sought after model.
