The seller offers this replica of the iconic racing car from the sixties, with the expensive BF Goodrich tires (215/60/15 front, 235/60/15 rear), which makes this car rides like it’s on rails. This makes the Pilgrim Sumo very easy and reliable to drive, even in wet road conditions. The powerful sound contributes significantly to the sensual appeal of this vehicle, producing the deep, unmistakable rumble familiar from classic sports cars.
The interior is upholstered in leather which shows minor signs of wear and the gauges and electronics are functional.
The car had two owners before, having it registered in Germany for approximately 25 years. The documents for that period are available.
The 1990 Pilgrim Cobra is a British replica of the legendary AC Cobra from the 1960s. The model was produced by Pilgrim Motorsports, a specialist in kit cars and recreations of iconic sports cars. While the original Cobra was developed by Carroll Shelby in collaboration with AC Cars and Ford, Pilgrim focused on offering an affordable alternative that approximated the classic look and driving experience.
The Pilgrim Cobra was built on a tubular frame and often equipped with Ford or Rover V8 engines, varying in power depending on the owner’s preferences. The use of fiberglass for the bodywork made the car lighter and more rust-resistant than the original. Despite being a replica, the Pilgrim Cobra convincingly conveys the recognizable proportions, wide wheel arches, and classic roadster lines.
This type of car was popular among enthusiasts who wanted to experience the style and performance of the Cobra without the astronomical price of an original Shelby or AC. With its blend of classic looks, modern technology, and customizable specifications, the Pilgrim Cobra remains a sought-after collector’s item and a head-turner on the road or at classic car events.
