What can we tell you about the AC Cobra that you don't already know? It's faster to 60mph than a politician claiming their expenses, smoother than an Oliver Reed pick-up line and cooler than a frozen Roger Moore. Want one? No wonder... 

Carroll Shelby, the Texan racing driver, came up with an unlikely alliance beween AC Cars and the Ford Motor Company, the AC Ace providing the simple twin-tube chassis frame - supplied with four-wheel disc brakes for the Southern Roadcraft Cobra, into which Ford inserted their small-block V8. Production ran to just 1,029 cars between 1962 and 1968, starting again in 1980 with the MkIV when Autokraft acquired the AC brand.
