This car left the factory on 1 December 1961 in Rouge Irise with a Beige interior. The engine number was S235309E. The Mays head numbered 28693 was fed by triple SUs. It had an overdrive fitted.

The car used chassis number 815 (stamped on its hinges) which was originally to be built as AC engined Aceca AEX 815 and is recorded in the AC Aceca Register before being reallocated the identity RSX 5002.

Other than the factory production record showing that it went, via the distributor Rudds of Worthing, to a customer in Spain, the first owner is not known.
From 1961 until 2026 there was no trace of this car. It could have been presumed to be extinct but missing cars have a habit of turning up. In 2026 it surfaced via a broker acting on behalf of the same family who had owned it since new! That is unusual.

It has been repainted in a silver/grey. The original interior appears tired and the photographs show it in a generally poor condition.

No sale agreement has yet been concluded as of October 2026.

The Cobra 289 body is wrapped to its Chassis and the boot frame is being fabricated on the chassis . We repeat this process on the other panels . The panels are bespoke to each chassis , one panel will not fit another exactly as they are fettled to each aperture . We’re delighted to announce we have two Brooklands Technical College students joining us for work experience who will be involved here on various projects .
