427SC Cobra replica finished in traditional British Racing Green, completed in 2003 by Cobra Fibercraft, a small (and highly respected) custom shop in Chatsworth, New Jersey. It has logged 5,250 miles [8,450 km], and is in excellent condition throughout.

There are sports car buffs who will tell you that green may be the colour that Ireland claims as ’er own, but good ol’ British Racing Green is an emerald hue that British sports cars can similarly claim title to. And BRG burnished with a hint of metallic, as you see on this custom road rocket, subtly edges up the timeless eye appeal of BRG.

Paint finish specifics: 1 coat primer, 2 coats color, 2 coats clearcoat

This British Racing Green drivin’ machine imparts a crisp, classic sports car persona. Inspired by a chance encounter with a BRG 1959 AC Bristol, the builder has given a subtle nod to the drivin’ machine that started it all.

Elegant coachwork, exhilarating acceleration and nimble handling, in concert with exhaust melody evidencing raw power, this is a head-turning/crowd-pleasing beauty.

Serious inquiries only, please!

21 October, 2021: Dave and his son John shot these splendid photos of Dave’s British Racing Green serpent themselves. Dave used his (2009 vintage, but still fully capable) Canon PowerShot G10, whilst John deployed his top-notch Nikon D850 digicam and its 24–70mm zoom lens. Each of them carefully followed our photography guidelines almost to the letter, with their objective being to capture this green drivin’ machine the way you’d see it in person. CS Cobra gold divider bar 23 November 2021: Curt, you can mark it SOLD—my British Racing Green Cobra has gone to a lucky new owner and a new stable way up in The Buckeye State (Ohio). It sold in just 9 days and for full asking price. Thanks for all your assistance with the listing and especially your guidance with taking the photos. John and I appreciate your attention to detail and the time you spent walking us through the entire process of capturing my Cobra just the way it looks “in person.” Dave Howell
