Vehicle Detail:                                  

BLUE, Full leather interior, 2 seats, Finished in Light Metallic Blue with White Stripes with Navy Blue Leather and Grey Wilton Carpets. Andy Burrows take on the Cobra Chassis was more akin to Lotus having a fully triangulated backbone chassis with an extremely strong semi-monocoque GRP body. The body is isolated from the chassis via 14 rubberised mounting bushes thus giving a far less harsh, more modern ride than most other Cobra recreations. The other unique Gardner Douglas feature is the body can be removed completely from the chassis within a couple of hours. The Gardner Douglas with its rave magazine reviews is a modern interpretation of the Classic 60’s Cobra rather than a copy of the original. This particular Mk3 Gardner Douglas was SVA approved in 2008 but registered as a 1988 on an E registration plate. Powered by a 5.7 Litre Ford V8 (302 stroked to 347) which has been dyno tested at 400BHP. The engine was built by Engine Data Analysis of Castleford, specialists in American racing and drag racing engines coupled to a 5 speed Tremec gearbox and limited slip differential.It was built without the wet weather gear option. It boasts a detailed Engine Bay, Stainless Steel Exhausts and Twin Chrome Roll Hoops and Bumpers.What makes this Cobra Recreation stand out is the fact that it was engineer built by a championship winning constructor and driver of single seat oval racers
