AC Cobra Mk IV Lightweight Specification

First registration 06.1989

Matching numbers

Swiss road registration with veteran entry

The AC Cobra Mark IV is a further development of the legendary AC Cobra, which was originally developed in the 1960s in collaboration between AC Cars and Carroll Shelby. The Mark IV was produced by Autokraft Ltd. in England in the 1980s after the company acquired the rights to the AC brand. Just over 400 were built and very few had the Lightweight specification. In the early 1990s, the Lightweight was an additional model in the program with the chassis prefix “AKL”, but before that customers could order their Mk IV with the unofficial Lightweight specification.

The AC Cobra Mk IV offered here is such a car and has the shortnose aluminum body as well as all other details of the Lightweight cars from new. It was largely hand-built in July 1988 and delivered to its first owner in Germany in mid-1989. The AC Cobra Mk IV was finally imported from Germany to Switzerland as relocation goods in October 2016. The engine and technology were overhauled around 3 years ago. All work has always been carried out and no expense has been spared to keep the car in perfect condition. The soft top, the side windows and the spray hood are also present as well as many documents, invoices, the owner’s handbook and the German vehicle registration document. This beautiful and rare AC Cobra Mk IV with Lightweight specification is matching numbers and is, veteran-approved, in top maintained and impeccable collector’s condition.
