AC and Cobra

The name AC must forever be linked with that of Cobra, one of the most exciting sports cars ever produced, and in this excellent book John McLellan, editor of the AC Owners Club Review, shows why with the use of over 350 photographs. He does not overlook the company's other products though - whether they be the pre-Great War Sociable three-wheeler, the 10 h.p. Light car of 1913, the legendary light-alloy overhead-cam "Weller" six cylinder engine which first ran in 1919, the special six cylinder racing car with twin overhead camshafts and a supercharger of 1925, the period of the civilised and attractive cars of the thirties, the outstandingly good looking cars of the fifties or the interesting mid-engined 3000 ME of the 1980s. AC and Cobra offers the reader a lifetime of reference, along with outline specifications of the cars and contemporary magazine road test dates for the period 1954 to 1980.
