Mark V on Ebay
« Reply #1 on: August 20, 2008, 14:03:34 »
WHAT? Why is a genuine AC product being sold in the 'REPLICA/KIT MAKES' category, as a '1964 Replica/Kit Makes  Mark V' ?
   Also odd that the description states that ther is more info at the  LUCRA CARS` website, but there isn`t.
   Surely there`d be more chance of selling as a complete roadgoing vehicle than like this?

The grey car shown looks more like a CRS to me as the front and rear indicators do not have the (horrible) recessed style of the MkV.

Not in anyone's defense but I think the term "Replica/Kit makes" is being used instead of "Rolling Chassic". Obviously by the price, the seller wants it gone.

IIRC this is the 3rd or 4th seller for the same Chassis number....

Oh well.... not even one bid. Again.
   It`s almost tempting to offer them $10k and bring it over here....
   
   Must
   
   leave
   
   savings
   
   account
   
   alone!

Just before anybody rushes out to purchase one of these MkV cars may I first suggest you speak to Gerry Hawkridge, to learn a little of their history.
