ebay bargins - not
Anyone want to bet which one of these gets more bids, a Cobra for £38,000 or an Argyle for £39,000?
Cobra
Argyll
I'll bet I see you in three days with a total of zero bids on either.

I'd guess the Cobra as the severely visually impaired aren't allowed to drive. 
A bit of slapstick never hurt anyone.

I'd never heard of an Argyll, but it's no wonder they're rare

Looks like a Gardner Douglas kit. Average build cost according to their site is 15K.

I think thats a genuine Cobra if it was made at brookland during 1993...
Either Autokraft or AC were definately making them around that time on the original AC Bucks, to original specs...
An ORIGINAL would go for 3-4 times that money...

1992
Brian Angliss personally acquires Ford's interest in AC Cars Limited. The AC Ace is developed into its final production form for 1993 launch.
The AC Cobra Lightweight is re-engineered to meet 1993 EEC and 49 State North American Certification Standards. AC Cars returns to London Showrooms
after an absence of 50 years.
It was revived again in 1996

G.Man's right, the Mk4s were made around that time, and that's a fair price - take a look in the back of Motor Sport.
As for the Argyll - oooeer. Fuelling system sounds fun. As I remember the carbs of that type were the Reece-Fish and the Minnow (I may be wrong
here) but they are fairly crude devices, Vizard touches on them in his A-series book.
