Gravetti was a British automotive manufacturer that operated from 1983 to 1988. Founded by Nigel Gravett, the company initially established its operations in Staplecross, East Sussex, before relocating to various locations including Sandhurst, Kent, Mere, Wiltshire, and finally Wincanton, Somerset.

The brand focused on producing a revival of the AD Cobra replica, utilizing various components from Ford. Recommended engines for the vehicles included the Ford V6, Rover V8, and American V8s. Gravetti introduced a unique concept known as "Cob in a Box," which provided builders with a complete kit that included all necessary parts except for the powertrain.

Gravetti offered both rare aluminum bodies and more conventional fiberglass bodies with a steel inner framework. The chassis developed by Gravetti was later re-engineered by Bob Egginton of A.S.D. to create the C.K. 427, further extending the legacy of the brand's engineering efforts.
