� The Cobra Replica Story – From Legends to Kit Cars (Livestream)
The Shelby Cobra is one of the most legendary sports cars ever built – but the story doesn’t end in the 1960s. The Cobra replica and kit car movement has kept the legend alive for decades, and in this livestream we’ll dive into the full history of these incredible machines.
Joining us for this discussion is Chris Hollier – former editor of Kit Car Magazine and widely regarded as a true Kit Car Guru. With his expertise, we’ll unpack the rise of Cobra replicas, their engineering, and their enduring appeal.
From the early Jaguar-suspension kits by DAX, RAM, Pilgrim Sumo, and Southern Roadcraft… to modern builders like AK Sportscars, Factory Five, and Gardner Douglas – the Cobra has inspired generations of home-built dream cars.
We’ll explore his Custom Cobra build now in progress:
* How Jaguar XJ6 suspension shaped the early Cobra replicas.
* Why Rover and Ford V8s powered so many kits.
* And what makes the Cobra the ultimate roadster that still captures imaginations today.
