...amazing.

"...Lubinsky has set up a new holding company, AC Cars (EU) Ltd., for the venture, which is targeting 80 sales a year in the United Kingdom and 200 in Europe. The holding company is headquartered in Cyprus, reviving memories of a failed venture by Lubinsky in Malta five years ago."

Has done a deal with HiTech (whoda thought??!!) to rebadge their Zagato Perana as an AC. Also the MkII (Cobra) makes a comeback but I'm sure other people more qualified will clarify that deal soon. Possibly.

So we all sit back and watch once again....

Trevor,
What, sit back?
You need to visit your broker and see if you can get in on the ground floor, right?

Maybe Lubinsky teamed up with the guys who are going to relaunch the American based F1 Team!
As always, believe it when I see it.

The Press Release gave this info on the Geneva cars and future developments':

'AC 378 GT Zagato – to be sold in the UK at a launch price of £89,990 and in Germany for €109,990.

AC MkII Classic Aluminium - this hand-built car is being produced at a new AC Heritage Centre at the historic Brooklands Racing Circuit. The Centre will be a living museum where these continuation cars will be built for collectors off the original AC jigs. Price on application.

AC MkII Classic - this is a composite recreation of the small bodied AC MkII 289.It will have a Ford V8 engine for the UK and a Corvette LS3 engine for Europe. This will be priced from £67,500 in the UK.

AC MkVI – this continuation model of the AC classic follows the lines of the legendary Cobra family and is produced by AC Automotive GmbH. It combines a 430 bhp V8 engine unit as used in the Corvette with outstanding German build quality. The design incorporates a host of up to the minute features while sustaining all the dynamism of a shape which has inspired motoring enthusiasts for more than five decades. The car is on sale in Continental Europe at a launch price of €109,000 plus taxes.'

'This outstanding line-up is by no means the end of ‘new’ AC Cars’ ambitions. It plans – in association with Zagato – to recreate a strictly limited number of AC Ace Bristol Zagato models. Also, in mid 2012, it will re-introduce the AC Ace Classic, a continuation of the 1950's car, the forerunner to the AC Cobra, which will initially have a four cylinder engine and be priced at under £50,000 in the UK'

The full press release is here:

AC returns to Geneva with four car line-up including a new supercar, News, automotive pr
