One of the world's best known classic sports cars - the AC Cobra - has been saved. A new company - AC Car Group Ltd - has acquired the assets and business of the former AC Cars company, Britain's car maker with the longest record of continuous production.

AC Car Group is based in Weybridge, Surrey close to the historic Brooklands race track. The company's history can be traced to a South London workshop which began car production in 1901.

The brutally fast Ford V8-engined AC Cobra (in pre-speed limit days it reached 196mph on the M1!) was devised by AC in conjunction with Texan racing driver Carroll Shelby. Now throughly updated, its unique blend of performance and style has made the AC Cobra a true classic car.

The new AC Ace model received rave reviews from the motoring press in 1995 but never entered full production. Its design is now being revised to meet safety and environmental regulations and offer even greater driving enjoyment.

Both the Cobra and Ace feature sturdy stainless steel chassis and hand-crafted aluminium bodywork.
