1963 AC COBRA “THE HAIRY CANARY”

In 1963, Richard ‘Dick’ J Neil Jr was a young man who wanted to go racing. In his early twenties, he already had an AC Cobra, a Mk1 260. He had graduated race training at the Connecticut wing of the Sports Car Club of America drivers’ school and intended to ship the Cobra from Los Angeles to Hawaii. However, the drive across America was dogged by breakdowns, and by the time he got to LA, he was ready to throw in the towel. Carroll Shelby, recognizing a young man’s enthusiasm (and the chance to make a quick buck) offered to take his current Cobra in part exchange for the latest, brand new, rack-and-pinion model. And so, on the 29^th August 1963, Carroll Shelby sold CSX 2151 to Dick, taking CSX 2005 as part payment. This made CSX 2151 the first car delivered for competition use with rack and pinion steering and a 289 cubic inch engine.

1973 RANGE ROVER 2 DOOR SUFFIX B

UNRESTORED & TOTALLY RUST FREE

We have pleasure in offering this exceptionally original 1973 Range Rover Classic 2 Door.

The car is a Suffix B which was built in 1973. In 1974 it was exported to Johannesburg in South Africa and spent the next 42 years in the sun.

The condition is lovely with a patina that cannot be replicated and which would be a shame to lose if it was restored. She has had areas of paint here and there the worst of which is the bonnet, lower tailgate and roof which are not perfect (we could restore them if you wanted) but it is quite exceptional to have a car of this age with zero corrosion.

Mechanically the Suffix B is lovely with a strong engine, smooth gearbox, and driveline which was properly tested having just performed faultlessly on a road trip throughout Scotland.

Internally the car is clean and bright. The carpets and Palomino trim are in good order, the roof lining is in good condition but the dash pod is tired and has been moved over to accommodate a non-standard rev counter. The seats have been recovered in a non-original cloth trim. Personally, I would recover the seats in the correct 8 pleat Palomino PVC, remove the rev-counter, replace and relocate the dash pod in the correct position at additional cost

The Range Rover was repatriated back to the UK in the Spring of 2017 and was re-registered onto a correct 1973 'L' registration.

Super value for money.

All of our vehicles (which are not full restorations) are fully safety checked prior to delivery, have a fresh MOT test and are covered by our ‘Kingsley Warranty Promise’ which is a minimum of 3 Month parts and labour with unlimited claims to the 60% of the value of the vehicle. More details here.
