This AC MKV is chassis number 3 and a collectors item already.
It is a two-seat, open-top sports car entirely manufactured by AC Cars.
It is NOT a replica.
It is a new car, a development from the original AC ACE and the Le Mans
winning cars upon which AC's post-war reputation was founded. It carries
the same pedigree, unlike copies.
The MkV shares many of the historic marque's design features and parts whilst
taking the classic, original, 1950's revolutionary design forward into the
21st century.
Each chassis is painstakingly hand-crafted to the highest possible standards
from the one-piece carbon fibre body to the leather trimmed interior.
The MkV carbon fibre body is moulded from the original aluminium body formers
and sits on a chassis formed around steel ‘ladder’ spaceframe welded to
twin 4-inch diameter reinforced cold drawn tubes which form the chassis
backbone and provided exceptionally stiffness under cornering loads.
The carbon fibre body makes the MkV lighter than the original Cobra and
it's therefore even faster. Tweaks to the chassis and suspension make sure
it handles just as well, if not better. Ventilated discs stop the car reassuringly
faster than its ancestor.
And of course, being an original, the car's value will hold and appreciate
