General Forum / Structure of the new AC Company
« on: April 25, 2012, 19:04:14 »
Terry Webb's interesting article on the AC stand at the Geneva Motorshow (April ACtion] sets out the structure of the new AC Cars(EU) Ltd which is a holding company registered in Cyprus by Alan Lubinsky.
Alan Lubinsky together with Jimmy Price (Hi Tech), Jurgen Mohr (AC Automotive) and Steve Gray (AC Heritage) are the directors of this holding company and will work together to build and sell ACs, whilst maintaining their own separate companies.
The first rhd MkVI, built to Audi and Mercedes standards according to Terry, will go on sale in the Summer with the 378 GT following in the Autumn, once an interior upgrade has been completed.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / CRS9500EX - Prototype Carbon Road Series
« on: April 14, 2012, 18:11:19 »
The 1999 CRS prototype, CRS9500EX, is being offered at auction on 19 April. The Estimate of £38,000 - £42,000 looks like a good opportunity for someone to purchase a real Cobra at a relatively affordable price.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Cobra MkIV Prices
« on: April 11, 2012, 21:39:33 »
I was thumbing through some old magazines the other day and came across the excellent Classic Cars article on the MkIV from March 2009 (What a wonderful wedding present for Mr Norris!).
The article values the standard MkIV at between £45,000 and £60,000. However today's prices for even the standard cars seems to be £90,000+ going on prices quoted by dealers such as Redline. Given the recession over the past few years, this seems to be a meteoric rise but I'm wondering whether the Cobra 50th anniversary is playing a large part in the prices being quoted.
And there seems to be a considerable disparity between MkIV prices quoted in the UK and those in the US where they are considerably lower.

It's a pity seeing cars like this permanently languishing at dealers rather than being driven by private owners.
