1987 AC COBRA

This stunning 1987 AC Cobra 302 Mk IV, chassis number AK1220, was originally supplied new by Rod Leach’s “Nostalgia”, the sole authorised UK dealer for Autokraft Ltd.Ordered new in November 1987, the first owner specified the car in Jaguar Westminster Blue with Burgundy Connolly leather and matching Burgundy Wilton carpets. A bespoke steering wheel boss, one of only two ever made, was fitted to bring the wheel slightly closer to the driver for improved comfort.Under the bonnet lay the Ford Mustang 5.0L V8 (302 cu. in. High Output) engine, specially ordered with Holley carburettors and decat exhaust, producing around 245 bhp, 20 bhp more than the standard EFI setup. This £1,200 factory option made the car both rarer and more spirited.Factory equipment included: Mota-Lita wood-rim steering wheel and gear knob, 16-inch black Hallibrand alloy wheels with three-spoke spinners, Glass wind wings and chrome stone guards, Pioneer Radio/Cassette, Full wet-weather gear and Everflex tonneau coverOriginally registered E79 GBH, the car was later reacquired by Rod Leach before being sold to its next owner in May 1989 Factory Performance Upgrade - In April 1990, the owner returned AK1220 to the Autokraft factory for a Stage 3 SVO Lightweight Engine Modification - one of only 20 right-hand-drive examples ever produced.The upgrade included alloy cylinder heads, roller cams, larger valves, Holley carburettor, and a big-bore free-flow exhaust system, lifting output to approximately 345 bhp.
