Yeah, tis a bit fancy for us oldè types Merv. But some of these youngsters building cobras today have equal fancy ideas for interiors.

However, as LoBelly mentioned, rumor has it Lubinsky is said to be as straight as a goat path up the Himalayas so it remains if these will actually hit the market.

ACs are manufactured by two companies:

There's the German built AC Mk VI with the LS3 Corvette engine - carbonfibre body, garish interior, wrong shape - an AC in name only:

and the traditional aluminium 'Continuation' cars built by AC Heritage at Brooklands, England:

Using the term 'Continuation' when referring to AC is a bit of an intellectual stretch for me.

Agreed, but AC Heritage (aka Brooklands Motor Company) is a quality outfit run by a genuine AC enthusiast, Steve Gray. building cars in the traditional manner at the historic racetrack at Brooklands. If I had the money (£160k - ), I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of his cars.











Mind you, I might decide to save £70k and buy this aluminium Kirkham built by Hawk Cars! The quintessential British sportscar.




On the Mk VI, let us just say that it is causing some controversy in the AC Owners Club at present. What they'll think about the Iconic AC Roadster is probably unprintable!
