BRINGS WORLD ’ S ONLY
SHELBY-LICENSED COBRAS TO UK
High-performance and luxury car retailer Clive Sutton has extended its coverage of the Shelby range by bringing the world ’ s only Shelbylicensed Cobras to the UK . Clive Sutton offers three right-hand drive versions of Cobra continuation and replica models , which are meticulously recreated by Superformance , the world ’ s leading producer of the legendary 1960s sports car .
The MkII Slab Side , MkIII and MkIII-R Cobras are an exquisite celebration of the iconic racer . They bring ‘ 60s style to modern day buyers with the latest engineering , build-quality and reliability that today ’ s buyers expect . In addition to the latest construction methods and enhancements such as a modern braking system , customers benefit from a Clive Sutton two-year / 30,000-mile warranty .
The Clive Sutton team fit the MkII with a characterful 5.7-litre ROUSH engine , while the MkIII and MkIII-R have a 7.0-litre V8 unit from ROUSH for powerful performance and a suitably rousing noise . This unit benefits from being significantly lighter than the original bigblock V8 from the 1960s , meaning the performance and handling of the Sutton MkIII Cobras is even more rewarding than the original .
