AC based in Thames Ditton, England were one of earliest car manufacturers in the U. K and were in production since 1901. Post WW2 the company designed and produced a 2 seater sports car called the AC Ace. First production of this model began in 1953 and its beautiful alloy body built using English wheeling machines captured the imagination of sports car enthusiasts the world over. One of these enthusiasts was a Mr Carroll Shelby who approached AC and proposed to fit the car with a Ford V8. This was the birth of the Legendary AC Cobra and Fitted with Fords 289 V8 the car went on to win the GT class at Le Mans in June 1964. A legend was born. The very first Cobra chassis no. CSX2000 has just sold at auction for $13, 750, 000 (RM’s Aug 2016). An opportunity now presents itself to own an example that will be equally as exciting to drive, with the stunning looks but at a fraction of the cost.

The BRA 289 was the first 289 AC Cobra Replica to be produced in the UK. Over 260 cars were manufactured between 1981 and 1998 when production ceased. The BRA body was designed using mouldings taken directly from an original Cobra 289. One of BRA’s first customers to commission a car was Gerry Hawkridge, who later went on to join the company at management level. When BRA ceased production and trading Mr Hawkridge went on to form Hawk using the remains of the BRA Facility. Hawk Replicas are still in production today.
Vehicle Overview.

Exterior – Our BRM 289 has been finished to an extremely high standard in Dark Metallic Grey. The paint finish is superb and all chrome-work is in fantastic order. The body shows no signs of damage and all panel gaps are excellent.

Interior – The black leather racing bucket seats in this example matched with black carpet, black racing harnesses and black leather dashboard give our example a high quality timeless finish.

Engine / Transmission – Having been subject to an extensive overhaul in house at Renaissance Classic sports cars, this example is ready to be enjoyed and needs for nothing. The sturdy box section chassis is in fantastic condition with no signs of corrosion and freshly refinished to preserve for the future. The suspension has been overhauled with new bushes where necessary. The Rover V8 has been overhauled and the carburettor tuned by our classic marque specialist.

History – Current V5. A presentation folder full of old MOT’s and service documentation. Some issues of the BRA 289 Owners club magazine with interesting and helpful articles on ownership.
