An edition of 9 new AC Cobras are to be built to the 1962 specification of the original. Priced at £500,000 before taxes, the cars will be built as exact copies of the first 1962 Cobra. That car was sold at auction in Monterey a few weeks ago for £10.2 million making it the most valuable road-going British car to have been sold at auction. The new cars will be known as the AC Cobra Mk1 260 Legacy Edition.
