Equipment and Options

Equipment in addition to standard on a Cobra/Cobra replica includes LeMans hardtop, sidepipes, sun canopy and nicely integrated reversing camera with display hidden in the glove compartment. The basic kit is a recognized "Ölandscobra" body which is based on the DAX kit but wider and with a forward window which gives a longer door and easier entry.

Condition

The car comes in a very nice condition for its 14 years. The fiberglass body is very well made and the paintwork is described as very good for its age. It has not been renovated due to injuries or other things over the years. The car is of course stainless. Glass panes, chrome, moldings, lamp glass and emblems are described as being in very good condition. The rims from Image Wheels in 15x8 and 9 inches respectively are in fine condition and the tires fitted are one season old.

The chassis is well built and the front and rear undercarriage come from Corvette. The car has been weighed and balanced and the result can be seen under the photo album documentation. Steering is taken from an Opel Ascona and brake servo from a Suzuki Swift. Unevenness in the asphalt is handled by adjustable coilovers from AVO.

The interior is in very good condition. Period-typical bucket seats in black vinyl with green stitching are installed. Classic wooden steering wheel from Moto-Lita with snap-off function. Door sides are in good condition. A small mobile holder is installed in the gimbal tunnel. In the glove compartment there is a display for the reversing camera and fuses. Instrument from Smiths in good condition. The switch for the electricity is mounted on the wall behind the chairs. In the luggage it is clean and tidy and the petrol tank is installed.

Under the hood it is clean and tidy and the engine is described by the current owner as being in very good condition. Driveline and gearbox are free of noise and are described as being in very good condition. Mechanically, the car works perfectly! Brakes are in good condition and new pads were installed last season. The engine is serviced according to the rules of the art and information about this can be found in the documentation accompanying the vehicle. As there are a whole three binders of information, we have not been able to photograph every page, but a large amount can be seen among our pictures.

Feel free to look through both photos and videos of the vehicle to form an idea of the condition. If you have questions, they can be asked in the question field and answered by the owner himself.

Summary

A really well built and nice Cobra replica that longs to rumble around on the roads again. With 1070 balanced kilograms and 360hp, it's enough performance to scare the life out of most of them.
