1925 AC/GN Cognac Special

This car competed in the Richard Seaman Memorial Vintage Trophy Race and the Historic Trophy Race at the Vintage Sports Car Club's meeting at Oulton Park in June 1984. It is pictured here on the approach to Lodge Corner during one of these races.

It's the 1925 AC/GN Cognac of Ron Footitt which is one of several Specials that were constructed in the 1920s and 30s using the chassis of a GN Cyclecar and either an AC or a Frazer Nash engine. The car was built by a Mr S.A.Cohen and 'Cognac' is an acronym composed from the maker’s name –  Cohen, the fact that it had a GN chassis and an AC engine that gives CO-GN-AC.
