The chassis is typically built using durable ladderframe construction, often upgraded for enhanced rigidity and safety.

Under the bonnet, Hawk Cobras commonly feature powerful V8 engines, delivering thrilling performance that mirrors the spirit of the original cars.

The deep rumble of a V8 paired with classic roadster styling captures the essence of 1960s motorsport. Inside, the Hawk Cobra maintains a vintage aesthetic with periodstyle gauges, bucket seats, and minimalist trim. However, buyers can tailor the build to include modern conveniences if desired. Each car is often built to order, allowing for customisation in colour, trim, suspension setup, and drivetrain configuration.This AC Cobra by Hawk presents exceedingly well in silver with crimson leather interior, red carpets and red seat belts. Fitted with a Hawk tubular chassis and powered by a welltuned Rover 3.9 litre V8 engine, coupled to a fivespeed gearbox. The interior is well detailed with correct Smiths instrumentation and a period style dished wood rimmed steering wheel. An adjustable pedal box aids the drivers comfort. Full weather equipment accompanies this Hawk, including side screens that have never been used. Sitting proudly on chrome wire wheels, with knockons, alloy front grille and an engine bay that is very neat and tidy, this has clearly been a well looked after example. It was IVA tested in December 2000 and is supplied with a V5 registration document, together with some history. Ultimately, the AC Cobra by Hawk blends timeless design with modern craftsmanship, delivering a faithful tribute to a legendary performance icon. Consigned by Stewart Banks
