AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
GENERAL:
This 1994 Gardner Douglas Cobra Mk3 is a high-quality British interpretation of the legendary AC Cobra 427 (Mk III). The car is known for its rigid and solid chassis and body, fully reflecting Gardner Douglas’ strong reputation for craftsmanship. This is not a show car, but a true driver’s car, built for pure performance and driving enjoyment.
BODYWORK & PAINTWORK:
The body is in a solid and strong condition. The paint shows some signs of age and minor imperfections, consistent with the car’s use and character. Chrome elements, including the roll bars and other metal components, are in good condition and securely mounted.
TECHNICAL:
Technically, this Cobra is in very good to excellent, freshly restored condition. A full technical restoration began in 2024 and was completed at the end of 2025, focusing on performance, reliability, and mechanical precision. The car is equipped with a fully rebuilt Chevrolet 5.7L V8 (350ci) engine, which is powerful and in excellent condition. The Tremec T5 5-speed gearbox shifts smoothly and precisely. The rear suspension features adjustable SPAX dampers, and the fuel tank is made of stainless steel. For safety and driving experience, the car is fitted with two chrome roll bars, bucket seats, a Fittipaldi steering wheel, and Sabelt harnesses. Over €22,000 has been invested in the recent rebuild, fully documented with invoices.
INTERIOR:
The interior is sporty, functional, and entirely driver-focused. The bucket seats provide excellent support, and together with the Fittipaldi steering wheel and Sabelt harnesses, they ensure a direct and safe driving experience. All gauges and electrical components are in working order.
DOCUMENTS:
The car comes with invoices of the recent technical restoration as well as records of previous maintenance and upgrades.
PICKUP:
The vehicle is to be collected by the buyer.
OTHER INFORMATION:
Original Cobras have become nearly priceless, and for good reason. Gardner Douglas offers a refined evolution of the icon: faster, stiffer, and technically improved. This Mk3 is fully ready to drive and is looking for an owner who appreciates the raw and authentic driving experience of a Cobra.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.

The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
