Is this some kind of wacky kit car?

Probably because its poorly finished and just a bunch of bulbous shapes. Kinda like Pam Beasley 2012.

Tries to look like an AC (from the UK?) that made a Cobra look-alike kit many years ago.

But, the AC looked a lot cleaner ... as I recall anyway.

The AC WAS the Cobra.

It started life as an AC Ace roadster but got some good Ford power.

I'd wager it's either a collosal piece of s*** or a typo.

When it comes to Cobra kits, Factory five or Superformance are the way to go.

EDIT: ok, the Ace led to AC building the Cobra....
