AC Mk V

[Excaliber]

With the Mark V having to meet modern day specs (safty, smog, etc) I would not count on performance as being their strong point.

Gentlemen, This is starting to sound like a SAAC forum at best, this arguement will never end.. The MKV is an evolution of the SuperBlower (supercharged MKIV with a better dash layout at that) of the MKIV that was an evolution of the MKIII that was an evoltion of the MKII. These two cars on EBAY were as handsome inside and from the pictures,the engine bays were correct, updated from MKIV & SB were brakes, etc The dash may be controversial, but having driven the SB with that configuration, it is just as easy to read as a MKIV that I currently own or the MKIII that I used to own. If your quibble is the body material ..quibble on, if you didn't like the inset rear backup lamps..quibble on. I can assure you the body fits are as comparible to any other "continuation, recreation, or factory manufactured roller in glass on the market and perhaps better than some. Attempting to tell the trueness of porportion from pictures or even by eye in person is difficult at best, unless you have the article you are comparing it to with you...memory plays tricks. If your quibble is where is it made or the name of the manufacturer..then we all have problems as the team in Malta owns/has the rights to names designs etc. While there may have been some "printing" under the the paint..so what..I seen brand new 250 K yachts with that issue...it is as repairable as some of the glass fibre work on replica's I've seen. Mr Owen and the group in Malta may be having some teething problems with the PROTOTYPES (as advertised on EBay), but some that have seen the production cars over the pond suggest they are good examples of the Mark. Let let it go and return to B-J and the insanity that goes on there.
