" A certain amount of confusion has been created around a recent announcement about AC Cars entering into the US market. We would like to put the record straight as to the actual facts, which are:
1. A UK Company - Private Corp Ltd., has recently taken over from AC Cars all the rights to produce the range of aluminium
bodied sports cars it supplied to the Shelby Organisation in the 60' s and which he, in turn sold on as Cobra' s in various forms.
Also taken over was the factory, staff, I.P., Jigs, Fixtures and tooling for the following models.
MK I (Slabslide)
MK II (FIA Specification)
MK III (Coil sprung 427/428)
2. Chassis numbers will follow on from the last ledger
entries sequentially i.e. the next MK I & II will be
chassis No COX 2610 and the next MK III will be chassis No
3360
3. The Company will trade as AC Autocraft and has awarded the US distribution to a new Company AC Cars USA Inc., which will open it's new showroom in June of this year. A toll free number
will also be put into operation and advertising/marketing will commence in June. Pricing will be announced shortly and will be competitive.
4. The new Companies are in no way connected to the
previous owners nor their current initiatives to build modern AC's in Malta.
AC USA Inc., will be catering for those enthusiasts who really want to purchase one of the automotive icons of the 60's from the original manufacturer."
