Thank you, I wasn't aware of the calculator on line but now I've checked it it confirms my own calculations, which is helpful.

Please can anyone tell me the impact of changing from 16" wheels and tyres to 15" wheels running Avon CR6ZZ on the standard Mk4 speedo? Thanks.

« on: March 31, 2023, 12:07:54 »Congratulations on completing the Mk4 SAAC Registry, I'm sure it was a major task and from the page-photograph attached to your post you've done a great job. I think it would be helpful to Mk4 Owners if you were to provide details on price and whether or not the 'book' will be hard copy or an e-book. Very well done. It would have been a great pity if the Mk4 had simply fallen out of the SAAC Cobra Registry.

Thank you for completing the final piece of the puzzle. It would be interesting to speculate how AC might have fared had they (or Shelby) put it into production given the success of the Jaguar E Type. Of course they brought the Frua to market and were 'sunk' by the first oil crisis; remarkable as that design was it, to my mind at least was not as pretty or delicate at the Ghia design.

Thanks to everyone who has added to this thread; it really does help bring an interest in AC's to life when one gets to see even some of the thinking of the time. However, that still leaves me wondering - what happened to it? Does it still exist or, if the rebody story is correct does the Ghia produced body still exist forgotten in someone's warehouse?

Thank you. Those are the pictures I've seen, along with a front 3/4 that shows off the headlight/cowl arrangements better and a through-the-open-drivers-door internal shot. Does anyone know what happened to the car(s)? Does anyone have any more detailed pictures or can anyone confirm that it was a standard spec chassis underneath the bodywork?

Yes, that's the one; there's another picture of the car/another car with a hardtop.

On a trip through the Coachbuild website, I came upon a few photos of a Ghia bodied Cobra (not the Willment (Fiat 8V) car or the 3000ME based car), which was new to me. Do the cars still exist (I think there was an open and a hardtop car) and/or could someone point me to some good photographs of them.
Thank You.
John

And the compliments of the season to you and to all our fellow members of ACOC.
In a year where normal stumbled but we (most of us) got there in the end, we can only look forward positively to 2022. I made my first National Day this year after 18 years of membership and, while it would have been nice if a few more people had said hello, it was good to see so many enthusiasts and chat about wonderful AC's.
With every good wish
John

I have not used them and cannot therefore make any comment about them but they have been featured on one car bloggers site that I have viewed occasionally. From my own experience the lack of roll-ability will be a problem.
