Riverside racer · #1 (**permalink**) 11-10-2012, 05:28 PM

The 378 is being handled by Hillbank in Irvine for the west coast. AC cars will be announcing distributor(s) and dealers when they have finalized their dealings with interested parties.
As far as the mk2,goes no dealers appointed as yet , but for the first container at least, Dennis Olthoff will be the installer.
Prices are as follows. Ltd edition $ 78500.00
Std $74250.00
Both FOB Olthoff Racing Mooresville N.C
CARS ARE SHIPPED LESS MOTOR, TRANNY etc and Dennis will complete as U.S. Law requires.
If anyone feels they have the credentials that AC would require ie financial,premises and capability to market/distribute their products you are welcome to contact me and I will put you in touch with the AC management team.As far as estimated delivery times go the orders received from China will determine that, but I do know that the factory is short of one to fill the first 40 ft container to the East coast so would guess that would prove to be a speedy delivery.

$74,250 Std. and $78,500 Ltd. for a complete running car seems reasonable.

Mark,

It was brought to my attention that you thought the price included motor and tranny...Not so.
installation and costs of both are extra

Ross,
It seemed too good to be true. My confusion came from having the engine and trans listed in specifications. It seems like a great car. Good luck with it.

It just doesn't make sense to me when you can get a nice Mk IV for a similar price.

A pre-production version of the Mk11 has just gone on sale in the UK:

AC Cobra Continuation MkII CLASSIC 50TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION for sale in Chesham Buckinghamshire | Boss Motor Company

Very little information on how AC are progressing with their latest project with Hi Tech. Boss Motor Company still have the early example of the Hi Tech built composite Mk11 Classic on their website but have removed the separate AC page on their site which is surprising given that they were appointed only last year as the official AC dealer. There's no information either on the 378 GT Zagato; it's certainly not on sale in the UK.

AC Heritage at Brooklands UK http://www.acheritage.co.uk/newbuildac427.htm and AC Automotive in Germany AC Automotive are still in business though.
