Description
The Shelby Cobra is one of those rare automotive designs that has never stopped being desirable. Carroll Shelby's creation from the early 1960s, wedging a big-displacement American V8 into a tiny British roadster body, produced one of the most visceral and recognisable sports cars ever built. An original Cobra commands extraordinary money today, well into seven figures for the right example. This 2004-built replica delivers the aesthetic, the proportions, and the driving experience at a fraction of that cost, built on a purpose-designed chassis with a genuine 5.0-litre (302ci) small-block V8 and 5-speed manual gearbox for authentic Cobra driving dynamics.
With just 2,558km on the odometer, this car has barely been run in. The British Racing Green paint is deep and glossy, showing mirror-quality finish across all panels with no visible chips or blemishes. The chrome wire-spoked wheels are bright and clean, the side exhaust pipes are polished and pristine, and the chrome bumperettes and windscreen surround are all in excellent condition. The front fender side vents, hood scoop, and wide flared arches are all executed correctly, and the Lloyds Classic Cars dealer plate on the front confirms the car has been presented in show condition. The beige leather interior is complemented by green contrast piping, the wood-rimmed steering wheel carries a Shelby badge at centre, and the full analogue Smiths-style gauge cluster includes a speedometer calibrated to 240km/h. The centre console houses a wood-trimmed shifter with leather gaiter. Wear throughout is consistent with the ultra-low mileage, and the trunk is carpeted in matching tan with the soft top boot visible. A soft tonneau cover is included with the car. Two keys are present.
The engine bay shows the 302ci small-block finished in traditional blue with finned Shelby-logo alloy rocker covers. The engine is clean with no oil seepage, the hoses are in good order, and the layout is well-presented with period-correct air intake and polished alloy components. Comparable Cobra replicas of this quality and build level have been trading in the AUD $78,000 - $100,000 range in the Australian market depending on specification and condition. At 2,558km this example is essentially as-built, and the combination of right-hand drive, correct colours, and quality construction makes it a strong proposition for both collectors and enthusiasts wanting a genuinely usable classic roadster experience.
