About this car
This is a 2004 Gardner Douglas 427 MK3, one of the better-regarded builds of the AC Cobra-style kit car. Power comes from a 6.0-litre LS2 V8 with a six-speed manual gearbox, and the dealer puts output at just over 400 bhp. There are no driver aids, and the steering is described as heavy.
The car has been through a full nut-and-bolt rebuild with the body off and the engine out, carried out by an experienced kit-car builder and documented. Since then it has passed through several local owners and been serviced and MOT'd regularly. Bespoke touches include a new wooden steering wheel, chrome lifters, a bullet mirror, painted wheels and a traditional AC gear knob.
It shows 9,482 miles in blue. A new MOT was issued on 02/06/2026 with no advisories, and a history file with bills and documentation is available. It previously wore race-style livery graphics, which the dealer can reapply.
