The Willment 427 Coupé: John Willment, racing team owner and largest British Ford dealer at the time, built a supersonic body on an AC 427 Cobra chassis in 1965. The body is said to come from a no longer roadworthy Fiat 8V Supersonic. The chassis he acquired from Shelby when they had discontinued the manufacturing of coupe racing cars using Cobra as a base. To be able to put the body on the chassis, the structure had to be heavily modified. According to a sales ad from the 1970s, the resulting super sports car had a Holman & Moody motor featuring about 480 hp and reaching about 200 mph. Since then, the coupe was offered for sale several times.
