Superformance 289 MK II "Slabside" at Carlisle

[Mark IV]

Time Machines Motorsports LLC will be presenting the North American premier showing of the new Superformance 289 MK II street car ("Slabside") at the Carlilse Kit and Import show May 18-20 2012. Located in building "T", it will be part of a full line Superformance product line display including the Corvette Grand Sport Coupe, the MK III and the 289 MK II "FIA" models.

Please stop by and see this impressive model. The street car builds on the chassis that Superformance developed for the FIA and USRRC models using the original AC Cars blueprints and specifications. Upgrades including stronger frame tubes, updated Wilwood brakes and other modifications provide an improved driving experience while keeping the original feel.

Proper vintage instrumentation, correct switchgear and original type seating all combine to provide the sensations that the original car did fifty years ago.

We look forward to seeing and meeting all of those "slabside" fans at Carlilse.

Gather up a couple more of the Ontario guys and take a ride down.....

We can now supply most of the Superformance product line in a special "starter kit" form that is Canada legal and approved by Transport Canada. These are specially supplied by the factory and are not "knockdowns" of a roller as that is forbidden by TC. We can do it right, proper and legal! These starter kits are only available for sale in Canada, all other areas continue to be supplied as rolling chassis.

Yes,

We will have it at SAAC as well as the London Cobra Show. And a few other events. It will be a roller at these events but will be powered and burning gas and crushin' bugs ASAP.


Looking forward to talking cars and telling tales with everybody....................

Approx. 120-150 days. Production is ramping up so time could be less.

That's not the final color for that slab side is it? It looks primer grey on my screen.

The FIA car is stunning already though!

To further confuse the issue, This car is none of the above!
It is actually my Riverside Roadster.
When the decision to show a car at the Geneva show was taken by AC, it was was quickly sprayed to a Steve Grey`s ( Brooklands Motor Co.) choice and is volvo stabla 102.As Justin, Jims son, put it. "it`s very old school" The factory pics don`t do it justice,The shows are better.
It will be at most of the shows along the East Coast shown by Rick Muck of Time Machines in Buffalo,and I invite all to pop in and sit in the car to see how Jim and the development team at Hi Tech have managed to tweak extra space to make it a very comfortable sitting sports car. And visually it takes a lot of searching to find out how and where!
In Europe a different version, beginning with being RH drive,instrumentation etc belongs to AC and Superformance with their dealerships distribute the USA as their mk2 alongside the FIA.In Canada it reverts to a Riverside starter kit to meet the requirements of Tpt Canada.
Look forward to meeting new and seeing "old" faces at the shows this year.
We have put a lot of work into the details and you are going to love it.

Now I am confused.

So Hi Tech developed this car with Riverside Racers and the car will be sold as a Superformance in the US and AC in Europe and the UK?? And the same basic car built by Hi Tech will also be sold as the CSX8000 Series Shelby cars?

On the way!

The 289 has been "stuffed" in the container at Brooklands and is sailing to the USA to be "unstuffed" and prepped for the Carlilse show.

We have had strong interest in the 289 and I have several customers coming to Carlilse to "sit and touch" before finalizing their orders.

We will also have a 289 FIA at Carlilse so best of both worlds will be on hand.

There are specification and option differences that make the Shelby and Superformance products different.

What are the differences? Are they meaningful? Thanks.
