A legend whichever way you look at it, the AC Cobra or Shelby Cobra is a car that was the result of Carroll Shelby’s engineering genius and AC Cars of Britain’s experience with diminutive open-topped sports cars. Stuffing an American V8 into a compact British roadster body created this mad machine, of which less than 1,000 original examples were made between 1962 and 1967. Today, getting your hands on an original Cobra is a difficult and rather expensive task. It’s not uncommon to find mint examples of the original being sold for high six, or even seven figure prices. Thankfully, outfits such as Factory Five Racing exist, and build fine replicas. They even endow them with some modern touches and creature comforts, such as what this 1965 Shelby Cobra by Factory Five Racing comes with. Available in Harbor Springs, Michigan, this car has just 3,000 miles to its name. Let us tell you all about it.
Triumph is a brand that not many in the United States have heard of, at least associated with cars. That’s because Triumph made not only four-wheelers, but two-wheelers as well. Yes, Triumph started off with bicycles and ventured into motorcycles. However, in the four-wheeled space, Triumph is best known for their classic British roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went defunct in 1984. The Stag was one of their signature models, produced between 1970 and 1977. Sporting Italian styling, over 25,000 were made across this seven-year production run, and the Stag was targeting the luxury sports car segment. Today’s 1972 Triumph Stag is a little different because it’s got an engine swap that give it more power than stock. Up for sale in Libertyville, Illinois, this could be your way to experience the British roadster life.
