AC 428

I took this photograph at the Northern Classic Car Show at Belle Vue, Manchester in September 1985.

It's an AC 428 and if my memory serves me right it was one of the cars that were to be auctioned at the end of the show. The AC 428 was built on a lengthened AC Cobra 427 MkIII chassis with bodywork by the Frua workshop in Italy and it was powered by a Ford 428 cu in (7,014cc) V8 engine. The car was produced from 1965 to 1973 and the registration number AC 428 is currently on a blue 1971 AC 428 Coupe.
