Nice pictures.

Since this is a production facility, did you get any pictures of tooling or cars being built?

There was a cordoned off area with jigs and various cars being built or rebuilt/restored like this MkIV:

The 378 GT Zagato is the prototype which I doubt is currently for sale. Of the other cars, the dark green Cobra is being raced by Steve Gray in the historic Cobra race at the Goodwood Revival in September. Its chassis number COB 6036 was subject to a legal tussle a couple of few years ago. The ACOC Cobra Register records this car as a 'Replica Leaf Spring Car' and notes that it was built by Steve Grey in 2003 using the original chassis of 6036, which was discarded when that car was rebuilt in 85. It has an FIA Historic Technical Passport.

I haven't seen it advertised for sale recently, nor have I seen the blue CRS being advertised for sale.

Of the other cars, the yellow left hand drive Mk 11 Continuation car (COX 2615) which was completed by AC Heritage after AC Cars closed their UK operations in 2006. This, I believe, has a Ford 302 V8, has been advertised recently by AC Heritage.

The FIA (CSX 7503) Continuation has also been advertised. This was completed to painted rolling chassis stage by AC Cars before being shipped to Shelby to complete. It has a 347ci Ford V8 and is one of two FIAs built earlier this century (the other is CSX 7501).

The new Mk 11 Classic Aluminium is being built to order by AC Heritage - costing £150,000 ($235,000) upwards. Lovely bespoke cars and no more than 10 will be built each year. (A cheaper grp Mk 11 Classic built by Hi Tech is also planned).

AC Heritage tend not to quote prices so definitely not cheap!
