The spec is very nice. Much closer to the genuine cars than most replicas. Shelby originally wanted a Chevy V8 for the cobra but they didn’t want to supply an engine to a corvette competitor so he went to ford.
Great Video Adam, That beautiful AK is Gen 1, and is slightly smaller inside (fine for me) because of the wide tunnel, the later Gen's have a narrower tunnel so a bit wider inside (not that you need it! lol), i think the column on that one is a Ford, mine is a Rover and has in and out, as well as up and down movement, so i sit at arms length, its also made for a much taller person than me, so i have spacers on the pedals, as i sit away from the wheel, mine also benefits from hydraulic PWS, that i would recommend to anyone. Keep up the great work with your passion for all things Cobra!
Enjoyed the review thanks. I would take issue with you though over the chevy engine. A ford 302 is more compact and just as tuneable and certainly no more expensive. Never understood why people put chevys in a cobra
Greetings from, hopefully another southerner and new subscriber. 2 things, first thing, you having a Cobra of some description restores my faith in younger motor heads having genuine taste, thank goodness. Second thing, where did you get the jacket? All the best, stay safe.
Yeh perhaps this one does. I didn't consider it too much as I'm used to my one, which doesn't have heating. But I know a lot use heater units from old Minis.
@@AdamC3046 Yeah i think the AK uses a VW Polo one, didnt build mine so not 100%sure, i think Pilgrim used to use Mini i am sure some of the older builds i have seen have the old mini slider thingy on the dash. I have had a couple of MGBGT V8's they didnt need a heater as that Rover V8 used to warm you up through the bulkhead nicely lol
Awesome video Adam! Love the honesty in the review! You inspired me to get behind the camera and I set up a automotive TH-cam channel, Thank you 🤘 Let me know what you think of it ?
I have always wanted to buy one of these but seeing the tiny interior, I could never now. He'll, I sold my S2000 because that had a small interior but this is even smaller.
There were two stunning things in this video that i want, the shelby and that jacket, i cant afford the car but i can probably afford the jacket, does anyone know what that jacket is called or where i could get it from i think its stunning
Sadly this car, although still exists has been badly damaged in a smash. It is now a class S write off although still recoverable. If I had the space I would buy it myself just to save it.
@@AdamC3046 look it up mate. Cobras with bowties, even replicas aren't worth the metal to put them together in the USA. Maybe in England but definitely a bust at car auctions like Barrett Jackson and Mecum. It is a pretty livery though.
Does my Cobra not prove it? The beauty, the sound, the experience of my dream car. No it's not "real", but it's as good as it gets for a small fraction of the price.
I'll be honest, I have really enjoyed half of the episodes of the latest series. The other half haven't been as glued together, but they're definitely more on to something than they have been since C,H+M's departure.
"The interior is very different aswell.. We'll come on to that later" - Adam C, 2020.
After watching monkey London it is!
Hehehe
That indicator stalk looks very similar to my 1988 defender 😂
Looks like the Triumph dolomite set up I had on mine

Correct, a fact I often inform the 'Ford boys' when they shout at me.
Adam C drinking game (1 shot);
“Cobra”
“My one”/“mine”
“Different”
“Chevrolet”/“Chevy”or “Ford”

Absolute respect to you and what you know and what your parents have taught you.

I prefer under body pipes and the more classic look but all cobras are amazing.
under 150 views now thats my day made.. Hi Adam... who else read AK47???
Yes I did
Yep I read the same thing look at my comment
Noted the BL stalks from the Marina/Alegro Ect
Enjoyed the review thanks. I would take issue with you though over the chevy engine. A ford 302 is more compact and just as tuneable and certainly no more expensive. Never understood why people put chevys in a cobra
jase6370 Chevy’s are a lot cheaper and easier to get parts for than a Ford in the UK
@@uk285 i disagree , ive rebuilt many 302's and if you compare prices from real steel theres no difference
Seriously a chevy in a Cobra..first I've heard of it and disgraceful..
I kinda like the sound, the gearbox whine is a nice extra audible touch to the experience.
Great video adam
How do you get the black license plates? Wanting to scratch build db5 one day. From what ive looked at you need to keep a lot of the Donor car.
🎵Ak427 I got cobra on my mind 🎵
Yours is mint bro seeing yours has made me change my dream car💯👍🏻
But Shelby wasn't aware of radars yet when he said that famous quote, wasn't he? 🤣

Nice vid, like the comparison with the Dax. Did you find the steering a bit heavier at low speed?
Yeh definitely
Your side pipes on yours do you burn your legs on the side pipes?
Not if you don't touch them
Can wait to make videos like this with bae 💜
Staggered wheel setup is nice. I would def have to have wider rears than fronts...
Hey Adam, I’m interested in what the 0-60 is roughly in your cobra? Since it’s fibreglass I’d imagine it’s extremely light!
I don't actually know. Maybe in the 4s
nice! Maybe one day I’ll have one
Great Video dude! Tried finding that jacket btw with no luck 😂 Looked at Zara too, you got a name or link Adam?
It was many years ago that I bought it
When comparing to a modern, you said no heating , but my AK has a heater, noticed the fan switch on the dash so wonder if this one does too ?

Oh how I would love owning 1
I feel a bit high up…
You then look at the rear tire in comparison to where he is sitting 😂
ok
Dope jacket by the way where did u get it ? I live in the US though.
Zara
I need to ask you, how tall are you? I'm wondering if being 6ft 3 will I fit inside any of those cars
6ft
@@AdamC3046 So confirmed, I'll build one for myself too :D
Imagine if the horse kicked the rental car!
Hi, I’m in trouble.
Awesome video Adam! Love the honesty in the review!
You inspired me to get behind the camera and I set up a automotive TH-cam channel, Thank you 🤘
Let me know what you think of it ?
I was looking at that Cobra the other day down there. Was the dodgy looking white V6 mustang there when you were?
Yeh, it was around the back as they hadn't put it up for sale yet. However they have now sold it.
@@AdamC3046 just under 8k that went up for.
Much better video then hanging out at car parks like 17 year old more car reviews
Whilst I 100% agree, it's a little soul-destroying when views for this video are less than half of that of a car meet video.
Are you going to wheels day good Friday at Aldershot
@@simonbevan7581 Sadly not this year as I'll be at the Nurburgring
Well i would not run car parks down 2much because if thats where you get the views then it cant be a bad thing. 👍
I have always wanted to buy one of these but seeing the tiny interior, I could never now. He'll, I sold my S2000 because that had a small interior but this is even smaller.
Probably like any replica ak47 :)
Thats a cool looking car!

Love the thumbnail 💪
There were two stunning things in this video that i want, the shelby and that jacket, i cant afford the car but i can probably afford the jacket, does anyone know what that jacket is called or where i could get it from i think its stunning
Zara
@@AdamC3046 thanks very much 👍
that was my dads car that exact one xD
Sooooooooooooooooo when are the cobra mods coming ????
I have changed my Cobra vastly since purchase
The big block Chevy has distributer in the front and small block in the back
Thanks, that's good to know. I've never actually seen a big block Chevy
AdamC3046 I’m no pro tho I just heard it on roadkill once haha
weight of the car? Ideas?
It will be around the 1000kg mark. Mine was 945kg with me in it and a full tank of gas at the SVA weigh in.
Thought it had a 427 in it.
Great part of the world ☕
I guess in the UK real men rent cars. Good luck finding a company renting a classic beaut like that in manual..
The front end and position of the radiator are different. I like the Dax better
I wonder if he has one of those cars too?
I wonder if I do
So it's not actually a 427
You should be top gear mate.
You should come down to Pilgrim Motorsports where we build our replicas! Only about an hour away from you :)
I would love to have a look at the facility.
@@AdamC3046 Awesome! We hold car shows every second Sunday of the month or if you fancy coming down whenever you like just let us know!
@@matthewbayford3427 That's interesting to hear. Do you have an events page detailing these monthly meets?
That' s interesting, I will have to come down when the weather improves. Does Mark still work there Matthew?
I just realised the link doesn't work. I have put them on carhuddle.com for you :)
Now I want to build a Cobra... but with a Mopar engine, because why not...
So... we’ve had a lot of floods lately. I’d like to help prevent further floods so here’s how to stop rising C levels.
Build A-Dam 🤦♂️
Maybe it’s just me but I just don’t think a Chevy motor should ever be put into a Cobra.
It's a replica, it can have whatever engine
Sadly this car, although still exists has been badly damaged in a smash. It is now a class S write off although still recoverable. If I had the space I would buy it myself just to save it.
Ak427 uhhh no flames 😂😂😂
....It's nice but ain't got SH*T on YOURS😆😆😎Nice😆😎Long Live Adam C3046😆😎
this car is an absolute death trap
Sacrilege to put a Chevy engine in an ac. Value of that would drop in the states.
Nah it's only a rep
@@AdamC3046 look it up mate. Cobras with bowties, even replicas aren't worth the metal to put them together in the USA. Maybe in England but definitely a bust at car auctions like Barrett Jackson and Mecum.
It is a pretty livery though.
@@rockytalkndawoods3057 I know all about Cobra reps. I own one.
Stay off of the moors...
So no ak exhaust 😂
What is it like? There are 2000 Y.T. videos already about what its like.
How about what its like to see a woman get in one?
You're on the wrong internet sites for the content that you're after.
Poor man’s cobra
I like your one better
Same
Really don’t the see the point of replica kit cars
Does my Cobra not prove it? The beauty, the sound, the experience of my dream car. No it's not "real", but it's as good as it gets for a small fraction of the price.
@@AdamC3046 Adam I love your Cobra and having seen a Factory Five Replica at my local Cars & Coffee I agree it's amazing, just to see and hear it 😍😍😍
DBCSgayming Yet you're on here watching videos. You absolute worm!
U cant put chevy motor into .. 'ford related' vehicle ...
U can
Looks like a high school tech class project car sounds like it too 🎀🤮🤢🤮🤢
Click bait...has a chevy engine!
That doesn't make it clickbait whatsoever.
still better than new topgear
