AC at 2012 Geneva Motorshow

[Chafford]

According to their website, AC are exhibiting their MkVI at next month's Geneva Motor Show. This appears to be an annual occurrence but I have not seen any other recent references to the car in the UK press. Is the car on sale here, and if so, who sells it?

Not only wondering how many cars sold, but how many sold with the £11,000 hardtop and £12,000 ceramic brakes :)
   
    Awaiting the AC Geneva press release with much interest this year.....could be fun.

   Don't forget to add the VAT.    If you ticked all the options boxes the total would be £188k!

Only £188k!!?? I'll take one in pink......

   Even the basic car with VAT is just over £125,000; very expensive, considering you will be able to buy Morgan's new Plus 8 for £85k (with 4.8 litre BMW V8) next month. I'm hoping the Mk VI will be a success, but wonder where the market is for a composite bodied Cobra for £120k+.

Oh well, we'll just have to wait for an "AC" that isn't a "Cobra". Or should that be a car with an AC badge which is non-Cobra-shaped....maybe one day, who knows.....

OOOH,
   
   Mr. Legate, you can only hope!!!!
   
   OOPS, I've said too much.................

Where those not called Brooklands Aces & Acecca's? MKVI you trouble maker.....to remind us of a linear thinker as AL

[TLegate]

I'm just a romantic old fool - never gonna happen is it?? :) It's a bit like Morgan, trapped in a never-ending spiral of punting out the same old motor, but different.

As  Barnum of Barnum and Baily said "there is one born every minute"......certain people have go thru all of them before giving in.
