Aurora (Canada) - AllCarIndex

Aurora Cars Ltd was a Canadian automobile manufacturer based in Richmond Hill, Ontario, that operated from 1977 until approximately 1988. The company was notable for producing one of the earliest replicas of the A.C. Cobra, specifically the early narrow-bodied 289 style, which distinguished it from many other manufacturers that focused on the later 427 models.

The construction of the Aurora Cobra replica utilized fiberglass, a material sourced from a yacht-making specialist, which contributed to the vehicle's lightweight design. The cars were equipped with a Ford 5-liter V8 engine and offered a choice of either a 4-speed or 5-speed transmission, available in both manual and automatic configurations. The chassis featured a space frame design with all-independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes, enhancing the vehicle's performance and handling.

Aurora Cars Ltd provided both complete vehicles and kits for enthusiasts who wished to assemble their own replicas, catering to a niche market of automotive hobbyists during its operational years.
