1984 HAWK AC COBRA 289 - One of the best manufacturers of Cobra replicas - Desirable left-hand drive - 200 chevaux for just under 900 kg French Hawk registration certificate Serial number: STSL HAWK 100125 The AC Cobra is probably one of the most famous sports cars in automotive history. Produced starting in 1962 by Shelby based on the elegant AC Bristol, the Cobra—initially powered by a 289ci V8—forged a solid reputation on the racetrack, both in the United States and in Europe; in fact, the original idea was to compete with Ferraris at Le Mans! Its simplicity, performance, and the legend surrounding it inspired many artisans—some more talented than others—to build replicas of the Cobra; this is particularly true of the British firm Hawk. Using a genuine 289 Cobra as a basis, they faithfully reproduced the body by molding it directly; they also built a chassis that is entirely consistent with that of the real Cobras. Today, the Hawk Cobra 289 and 427 are among the most sought-after models, thanks to their high-quality finish, their driving dynamics, and their appearance and design, which closely resemble the original Cobra. Its vehicle inspection certificate, dated June 17, 2025, is valid. The example we are presenting was assembled in 1984 by Hawk; a rare left-hand-drive model, it is equipped with a Rover V8 engine. A rarity in the world of replicas, this Cobra comes with a French registration document that clearly lists Hawk as the manufacturer. It is sold with its soft top, tonneau cover, and side windows. 1984 Hawk AC Cobra 289 - One of the best manufacturers of Cobra replicas - Desirable left-hand drive - 200 horsepower for just under 900 kg French registration document: Hawk Serial number: STSL HAWK 100125 The AC Cobra is probably one of the most famous sports cars in automotive history.
