Equipment
Possibly the first 289 car Cobra now with dual quads, paperclip rollbar, 5-spoke alloy wheels, grille and trunk guards, functional hood scoop, independent Dragonsnake conversion in period, Smiths gauges, Hurst shifter.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
The paint is very aged, heavily cracked and chipped around the wheel wells, bubbled around the windscreen and heavily chipped around the nose. The brightwork is aged although not heavily pitted. The windscreen is delaminated around the edges. The mechanicals have a light patina. The seats are heavily worn and the carpet is ratty around the driver's footwell. A preserved car with no touching up.
Market commentary
Although it isn't a Dragonsnake any more its period modifications and the history represented by its patina are difficult to resist and in this condition and no pretense of original configuration or major components it is a Cobra to be driven with verve, which it can be at this intelligent price.
