Dave / Purple . .. peace here to .. I guess it was incouraging that the manufacturer actually spoke up in this forum .. to me that was a treat .. unfortunatley it was to defend some comments.  Even the big 3 have lemons ... the kinks will be worked out and we will all benefit... Did you see the Shelby that sold for 5 M at BJ ????

   Hi Ron. Yes the Shelby has been posted around. $5.5M I believe it finally went for![:0] Not a bad years work for the seller eh! $4.5M Profit on what he paid last year [;)]

Engine looks fantastic and the wheels look as if they now sit well in their arches.   I have been contemplating for some time a change form the standard Ford EFI system to something like this (Edelbrock?) but can't work out how to make the connections to the supercharger in a manner that works and looks good.  Has anyone tried this?  The roll bars look a bit low for my taste but I presume that this could be a very easy change if the customer wanted them to be taller.
   

   
   Good news all round for AC [:)]

John ( Malta ) pics look great ... as I said " build and they will come " .. LOL

I think this is the first Mk V prototype from 2004.
   
   
   
   
   
   The latest car on the AC Cars website is a vast improvement on this early prototype.

And here's AC Mk V chassis number 3 (COB10003), the car advertised on the Boulder Speedsters website. I think this car precedes the two cars recently advertised by Autosport on ebay.

If I recall correctly, the instrument cluster on Ch.0001 is from a Mustang, 0003 is a significant improvement.
   I sincerely hope that 2007 is the year that John Owen indeed gets the car he can be proud of into 'full' production and we critics can be silenced!

   The pictures of the car recently added to the AC Cars website makes me optimistic.
   
   The instrument cluster on the production models is the pattern used on the prototype being sold by Autosport (chassis 005):
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Someone should snap up this car and with a bit of polishing will have a very nice machine at a bargain price! [:)]
   
   And here's the production MKV with the same pattern instrument cluster:

But just a moment - do my tired old eyes deceive me, or does the plaque on the orange jobby, 0001, clearly state 'This AC Cobra....' ? Cobra? Surely a slip of the engravers tool, so to speak. Hope nobody else ever gets to see that....

   Damn. How did I miss that? (Mind you, it was stupid o-clock when I was looking at this.)
   Swine! Did you have to delete it off photobucket too????[;)]

[Chafford]

Fraid so! Probably an unintentional error and not one to risk litigation over.

[nikbj68]

Yeah...but I`ll bet it`s still on the Car!

[TLegate]

No it was never there in the first place - just my little joke M'Lud..ahem...I have a sick sense of humour, shame on me.

Suspension and brakes all look very familiar.  Engine looks fantastic with that induction set up.   Looks a different injection system to the last one that was photographed - does anyone know what systam it is?
