AC Mk2 Classic (2012)
With the AC name now owned by Acedes Holdings, the company announced joint ventures in the UK, Germany and the USA to produce Cobras. The German car was set to use a Chevrolet 6.2-liter V8 and Corvette gearbox and brakes. The British-built model as the AC Mk2 Classic that took the original 289 as its inspiration.
At £67,500 (around $85,000 at the time), it seemed reasonable value against the rising prices of original 1960s Cobras. For the UK, it was set to have Ford V8 engines, while European buyers were offered Chevrolet motors. Whichever you chose, it would be built by Hi Tech in South Africa.
