At the Dingman collection auction a few weeks ago a BRG Autokraft car went for $175,000. The Autokraft cars were built originally under license by the AC company in England. Autokraft eventually purchased AC outright with FoMoCo and continued to build these cars out of aluminum on the same body bucks as the original AC cobras. I have an AC Cobra Mk IV like this car and it is a fine machine of a high quality and finish. The Mk IV cars took 2000 man hours to complete. Most Cobra books include the Mk IV in the Cobra lineage of the original cars. I did not pay as much for my car but still a high price. Seems the price of the Mk IV cars is going up as people realize the lineage of these cars and the low number built.

I've seen these get prices higher than what I would pay, but unless it has some history that would command the money (like if it was Jack Roush's go to church every Sunday car, etc...) I do not think they will get the $175 large.
