AC Cobra Gardner Douglas Mk3

This is a Gardner Douglas Mk3, a 1997 Cobra replica built by a retired engineer. It uses a Chevrolet 350 small-block V8 producing 339 bhp, paired with a Borg-Warner T5 five-speed manual and a Jaguar independent rear end with a limited-slip differential. The quoted weight is 975 kg, and the claimed 0-60mph time is 3.5 seconds.

It has covered about 13,700 miles and has stayed with one family since February 2002. Between 2008 and 2010 the body was removed and resprayed in Ferrari Red, and the chassis and mechanicals were inspected and photographed before it was refitted. The interior is black.

Work over the years includes an uprated clutch with a concentric slave cylinder, six new coilovers, replacement tyres, servicing and a full ethanol-safe carburettor rebuild. It comes with build documentation, service records and MOT history, and has been used less often in recent years.
