AC CRS Sells for £12,500!!! [:0][:0]
...Or so it says in this month`s "Classic Cars For Sale " magazine,
as the caption for this photo:
BUT, having picked myself up from the floor in the newsagents, I read the main text, which said:
"
Of the post-war sporting stock, an only 12,500 miles since 2000 AC Cobra MkIV went for £35,200"
PHEW! [8D]
Still seems like a bargain to me, only just making lower estimate.

Original, low mileage, would appear to have been only driven in fine weather.
Interestingly,
OCTANE Magazine report the mileage somewhat lower and the price
slightly higher:"
..At the opposite end of the spectrum, a nine-year-old carbon fibre-bodied AC Cobra CRS MkIV with just 1200 miles on the clock was also hotly contested before finally being knocked down to a UK collector for £35,700."
