General Forum / AC Mk VI
« on: September 12, 2010, 16:39:39 »
There was a great deal of publicity 18 months ago about the AC Mk VI and an updated version of the car was shown at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year. However there's been no publicity since.
Does anyone know the current position regarding the Gullwing operation?

By my count, there are now 3 companies producing cars with the AC trademark: AC Cars in Germany, AC Heritage at Brooklands, Iconic Motors in the US.
Does anyone know what has happened to the 4th, AC Autokraft, also in the US?

General Forum / Information from AC Cars in Malta
« on: February 22, 2007, 19:30:12 »
In case you missed John Owen's post which is hidden away in another thread, here it is again:
Just for information the AC Cars Web site www.accars.eu has been updated with some photos of the factory in Malta.
Just answer a couple of questions with the correct answers!!
1) The MKV uses Stoptech brakes (Front and rear discs with top hats and bracketry specifically made for AC plus Front calipers) as AP stopped production of the calipers and discs used on the CRS - all AP invoices were paid!!
2) There were two 212 SC's built. Both to my knowledge are with happy owners. The engine was a 3.5 ltr twin turbo, 350 hp, 300lb ft torque with 85% ot the torque available between 1500 and 5500 rpm and weighed less than 200 kg complete, with a 6 speed manual transmission. The total weight of the car was less than 1000kg, Lotus stopped development and production of the V8 engine hence it was no longer an option.
3) All future aluminium cars will be built in the UK under AC control.

General Forum / The last UK built AC Cobra 427??
« on: February 19, 2007, 12:33:59 »
March's 'Classic and Sportscar' has an advert for an 'AC Cobra 427 Roadster LHD'on page 81 which is being sold as part of a private collection.
Not a great deal of information, but the add states:
'Due for completion early 2007. Built by AC specialist from body/chassis supplied by AC Cars. COB chassis number. Guards Red, period 428 2X4 Holleys'
Is this being built by the Brooklands Motor Company?
