Good luck to AC, the cars look good. If somebody still has the passion for the persuit of perfection you'll get there.

You were involved with them during the tough times? Would that have been,
When the company built only 101 cars (71 in London and 30 in Glascow) from 1970-1982?
Or when the company defaulted into receivership or reorganized in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1996, 1998 and 2005?
Or when Superformance attempted to bail out AC but couldn’t reach terms?
Or when AC agreed to work with Shelby to build continuation original Cobras on Dec. 4, 2003 and after failure to deliver, Shelby had to sue them on May 3, 2006?
In fact, the only manufacturers licensed to build a “Cobra” are Carroll Shelby and Superformance. Not AC Motorcars Holding, Kirkham, ERA, Backdraft or any of the other quality manufacturers that make a "cobra look alike."
But it's good to know AC still has a fan out there.
