                                                                            1974 MARK PHILLIPS COBRA INVOCATION  
                                                      VERY RARE & EARLIEST EUROPEAN MANUFACTURED SHELBY COBRA
                                                                         RIGHT HAND DRIVE-IMMACULATE CONDITION

 
       This is the first time that this very rare and unusual Mark Phillips manufactured Shelby Cobra replica is being offered in America and has only been in the United States for about two weeks.  I acquired the car through a multi vintage motorcycle trade to a U.K. based car collector and recently had the Cobra imported at great expense to the California port HUENEME and now the car is stored here in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada.

      The 1960's Shelby Cobra is reputed to be the most replicated car in the world and that is certainly believable when you see just how many "second generation" Cobras there are on the market at any given time.  This invocation is quite different because firstly it was manufactured almost 50 years ago and is the first high quality company manufactured replica right hand drive Cobra to be introduced to the European market in 1974.

     Sporting a very reliable and relatively tamed four-cylinder U.K. or German manufactured Pinto motor on an early 1970's British manufactured Ford Granada chassis, the perfectly tuned engine starts up and runs flawlessly.
 
        I would welcome any prospective buyer that wishes to come to Las Vegas to inspect and drive the car as it is objectively in remarkable condition for a nearly 50 year old car as it looks to have never spent a day out of doors in its life.  The previous owner has assured me that this rare automobile was stored in a climate-controlled showroom its entire life when it was not being driven.

    In the photographs, I could not get the left side of the hood to lay flush with the rest of the hood area, and I can assure the next owner that this is a minor adjustment as all of the hardware is present and seemingly functional, but I am not a tinkerer or a car mechanic, so I left it undisturbed.  The hood latch catches but after a few seconds it somehow releases on the left front hood as shown.  The interior of the car is as new, it is perfect!   

      Please email with absolutely any questions.  This is a rare opportunity to acquire a vintage, very rare entry level Shelby Cobra replica requiring only moderate mechanical tinkering skills to bring the car up to its absolutely perfect aesthetics.  There have been several Mark Phillips Cobras with small block eight-cylinder engines that have realized in excess of $60,000 at U.K. auctions as this is the very first historic factory produced Cobra replica that started the "Cobra Craze" less than a decade after the original Shelby Ford Cobra was released in the early 1960's.

      Also included is a receipt folder belonging to the car dating back to 1974 containing approximately 58 receipts for absolutely every maintenance and repair performed over the past 50 years including the original receipts from the U.K. based manufacturer Mark Phillips.  My ebay feedback is perfect, and I'd like it to remain that way as this rare and beautiful automobile is described as critically and objectively as I am capable.  Thank you for reading.

     I always consider interesting and equitable trades up, down or even, automotive or otherwise.  Thank you for reading.
