Chafford,
   
   As our foremost Zagato authority and Forum poster, what is your estimate of sales to date in:
  • AC form?  
  • Perana form?

    Ross Henry who posts here and on Club Cobra as Riverside Racer will know more about current production than me. I've only seen three cars with AC badges, the silver one in the US, the blue one in the UK and the red one in one of AC's publicity photos. There's precious little firm information provided by AC unfortunately.

    Given all the publicity about the new model range in 2012, that's pretty depressing.  The blue car is currently the only 378 in the UK according to Classic and Sports Car:

    Sadly that seems to be the way these things are.... History tends to repeat itself.

    There's another 378 on sale in South Africa:

       Hi Tech appear to have produced a small batch of Peranas, some of which have been badged as AC 378s, which have appeared on sale in the US and South Africa.  However it would appear that Hi Tech for some reason have not put the car into production.
