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?
   

   
   Certainly different from the production version on the AC Cars website.

Independent Runner Eelctronic Fuel Injection is what I'm seeing on that Blue MKV.  Curiuos as to who;s setup it is.  I have a intake being made for my Pantera.  351W with Cleveland style heads.  But have not purchased the hardware and electronics. Still researching.

thanks for the explanation

Hello again.
   Sorry for being a pedant but the front brake rotor on the blue car is fitted the wrong way around.
   (Reason: The vanes in the vents are angled and should be angled the other way so that when the wheel spins it draws air in through ther centre and centrifugal forces push the air out of the perimiter).

Dave. A good point well made.

   Hi.
   Just thought I'd let you know that the front brake rotor pictured on the blue 2006 AC MK V (Chassis number 003) is fitted the wrong way around. In that the cooling vanes should point in the opposite direction for wheel rotation enhanced cooling.
   Regards.

When I visited 006 it was the same way.  But keep in mind vented is better then non vented like the MKIV.  It may only be case of switching the left side with the right.. Usually the anlge vented are lefts or rights.  and some only the front are angled and rears are straight vented.

Mark IV

But Mk IV front rotors ARE vented! The rears are not however...

   Nice to know that even though quality/integrity is down consistency is up.
