SUMMARY

Part of the Kennedale Collection and offered without reserve, this RAM Cobra displays minimal use in recent years.

DESCRIPTION

Registered in February 2015 as a RAM Cobra, with DVLA documentation supporting the build, and displaying just over 4,300 miles at the time of cataloguing
Powered by a 351cu in (5.8-litre) Ford Cleveland V8 paired with a C6 3-speed automatic gearbox fitted with a B&M 'QuickSilver' quick-shifter offering formidable performance in keeping with the Cobra ethos
Constructed around RAM Automotive’s rigid spaceframe chassis, developed with input from race car constructor Reynard, and utilising Jaguar-based suspension components for enhanced handling characteristics
Believed to be based upon 1988 Jaguar underpinnings, and understood to have seen very little use during the current ownership, having been dry stored with the battery maintained via a trickle charger
Now requiring recommissioning prior to regular use, presenting an exciting opportunity to acquire a dramatic interpretation of the iconic Cobra, combining significant performance with unmistakable road presence
