AC Cobra Mk IV CRS Carbon Edition

The Carbon Road Series was the last significant development of the Mk IV Cobra, swapping the traditional aluminium bodywork for a full carbon-fibre shell over a tubular steel chassis. Only 37 were built, making it one of the rarer AC models from the post-Thames Ditton era. This is car number 34.

It was first owned by 1996 Formula One World Champion Damon Hill, and was registered to his company, P1 International. It has had two keepers since. The odometer shows 15,689 miles from new.

Power comes from a 5.0-litre Ford V8 with a Tremec five-speed manual gearbox and a Hydratrak limited-slip differential. The car is right-hand drive, with independent double-wishbone suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and disc brakes at all four corners. Wet weather gear is included.
