Would you buy a Mk V. rather than a Shelby continuation from Bill Shepherd (or better still a MkIV)?

This run of Continuations?

Well, well, well, guess what? The homologation is still on going and I presume that this will become the major obstacle (I speak about the European one), so still waiting.
   

   
   Isn't there an individual vehicle approval process for low volume manufacturers in Switzerland?

   I'm afraid I don't know the chassis number for the aluminium 2012 car - sorry to hear AC Heritage won't help.

After the launch at Geneva 2012, I had high hopes that this was the start of the marque's revival. Very disappointed therefore that AC Heritage's blue 378GT Zagato appears still to be the only one in the UK.

Aluminium bodied cars built almost entirely by Kirkham:

I'm not sure Sir Jeremy has instilled much momentum into AC. As far as I'm aware, the 378GT Zagato hasn't yet been launched in the UK.  Shades of the gestation period for the 3000ME?

Let's hope Spantik's Mk VI has been built to a higher standard in Germany.

Maybe they mature the thing like a fine wine. On the other hand......
   

   
   Has your Mk VI been delivered yet?

   Sounds as if you're almost there. You'll have a unique car too as I've not seen any evidence of any other Mk11 Classics being sold.

I can't imagine anyone would need more than the standard 437hp car for road use.

Back from the "saddler", interior set, some accessories missing (gauges made in UK which are still not delivered). Apparently the body paint is awesome. Let's see if AC Automotive meet the May 15 deadline... Pictures follow.

'AC 1908-2011' and a small photo of a 3000ME is the only reference to AC under the heading 'Gone and mostly forgotten'

Still on sale at Hillbank Motor Corporation using the VIN Number CSX 3060.  Very nice looking car whatever its provenance.

The advert says the car is now available for order.
