What on earth is happening to AC? They had a fantastic product, the Cobra, built in traditional terms. The last true variant being the English built CRS. A tried and tested chassis with a modern bodyshell, Ford engine and excellent build quality and it met all the current legal criteria. It then reappears as the MkV, which was a very poorly contructed thing, embarrasingly bad build quality, which fortunately died quickly. Then to add insult to injury a the MkVI, a kit car, well engineered, but a kit never the less with a AC badge on it. Now another well engineered assembly of parts with a AC badge on it. How can one company get it so wrong? Carroll Shelby continues to produce his CSX Cobras, with fibreglass or aluminim bodies, following all the tried, tested and well known componets which just keep selling. They are a good price, build by Shelby or approved people to give a known, desirable product.
Why didn't AC go down Shelbys route?
