Introduction
Josh Sharples
A great tribute to the legendary Shelby, nothing quite beats the experience this car will give you.
The Cobretti Viper is distinct from any other replica for its extra flared front arches, you'll also find many changes under the skin on this example. Cobretti Engineering of Morden, Surrey began production of these kits back in 1987. It began as a ladder-type, the Cobretti chassis took on more of a spaceframe layout as the design progressed and is recognised as one of the strongest on the market.
Kits were manufactured to accept Ford Cortina/Sierra and Jaguar running gear, with a wide variety of engine options, this example would originally have had a 2.8 Granada block, which was upgraded to a 3.5L Rover unit, and then further still to the 4.2L big Rover V8 under the hood. Dressed in a 427-styled glass-fibre body shell with its distinctively large front arches. Sadly this car is being handled by Helen the partner of the owner Pete who passed away last year. It's been stored in the garage since, having come back from a respray last summer, a stunning car.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Josh after meeting Helen the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
