Henry & Ford are pleased to be able to offer this beautifully handcrafted re-creation of the iconic AC MK11 289 Cobra, leaf spring model, currently under construction in Queenstown, New Zealand.
​
The vehicle is now being prepared to be shipped back to the United Kingdom and completed in either two options:
​
​
1 - Road Car
2 - In Race trim with FIA papers
​
​
The vehicle has been faithfully replicated from the ground up by a Master Craftsman, wherever possible utilising original components, from the AC Factory, including front and rear suspension, fibreglass footwells and boot tray.
The engine unit is a hi-po block, totally rebuilt by Roy McDonalds from Dunedin, it has been bench run and an approx.: 330 Hp was noted
​
The correct bell-housing has been sourced and fitted to a T10 gearbox.
Working from original Cobras in the UK, and by sourcing some original internal panels, a complete set of paper templates/jigs and drawings were produced to faithfully replicate a buck/formers in New Zealand, which has been beautifully hand crafted by Barney Tansley of Tansley Panels, Queenstown, New Zealand.
At this point in the construction, a roll bar and harness points were fitted to allow the vehicle to qualify for FIA registration
