Here we are at the podium receiving our insults. Please note the MC reading the original window sticker just before he tell the audience my MKIV is a replica. I think his first name is David. If anyone konws his last name I would appreciate it. He know all there is about a Duesenberg but nothing about an Autokraft. Maybe I can broaden his knowledge.

OK, The guy's name is F.Edward Lucas II not David. I contacted him on Facebook gave him a jab and suggested he go to the AC Owners Forum for some enlightenment.

I think you should call him David. EVERY opportunity you get.
   When he says "My name is F. Edward Lucas the Second" Just say "Yes, David, I konw it is." [;)]

Clearly another typo - it must be Fedward Lucas, surely? :)

As often is the case, nothing in life is simple, Jurgen! However, all Mk IVs from 1982 onwards were licensed to use the AC badge and outside the USA, by Ford to use the 'Cobra' moniker (up until June 2002). From 1986, Brian Angliss as AC boss was effectively giving himself permission as Autokraft boss to descibe his cars as 'ACs'.
   
   I think therefore it's accurate in the broad sense to say that your car was built by 'AC'!
   

   Any other views on this?

It never occurred to me that it was otherwise.
   
   I never liked the MKV, but it was still an AC and there was nothing I or anyone else could do about it. The man who owns AC decides what is an AC. They always have and always will.

Sorry if I rehashed an old topic. Maybe you can point me to where it was discussed/settled already?

Sorry, not having a go at anyone in particular but the MkIV was built by both AC and Autokraft. Quite how you define which company built what is hardly relevant. Brian Angliss owned AC Cars Ltd (in partnership with Ford for a while until he spent their joint money re-developing the Ace without telling Ford) and Autokraft, at the same time. Initally the MkIV was an Autokraft product, then Derek Hurlock permitted the use of the AC name and logo (happy days) before he sold the business to BA who negotiated the right to use the Cobra name.
