It seems to me the "magic" of AC has been somewhat tarnished/dissipated by the current shananigans. Made by totally different people, in a different location (if any), using maybe some but likely not all original tooling.
Whats production going to be? 1 a month if that?
I have to agree with pretty much all of that, Real, but I think it`s a little unrealistic to expect too many original 'people' to be building Cobras, as any of them who were older than about 25 would now be at or past retirement age!

AC Autokraft were based at Brooklands, and are not to be confused with the Brooklands Motor Company(despite the fact that they might have the odd WW11 aircraft in for repairs!)

AC Cars let that web address lapse & it was since bought by J Bradburn classic cars. The 'official' AC Cars` web address is (or are!) :
