For those who thought that the 289 was ‘cool’, 427 must have left them breathless! It looked like the 289 had overdosed on steroids! In fact the chassis of the 427 was stronger with additional bracing and a completely new suspension system over which came the revised body p[rofile with the accentuated flare wheel arches […]

This is the model that started the legend of AC Cobra. It looks quite ‘tame’ compared to its muscled-up sibling the 427. As only 673 were originally built these are extremely valuable to those who are fortunate enough to have one of the originals. It’s incredible to think that 50 years ago this road car had recorded […]

AC – the name that became synonymous with ‘Cobra’ added to the appeal of any model made by AC. The 428, a fast, luxurious, grand tourer was made in very limited numbers and a genuine car would be most valuable today. However, if I was fortunate enough to own one, I certainly would not be selling it!

This model is arguably the first iteration of what morphed into the 850/1000 and can be regarded as Italy’s version of the Mini Cooper ‘S’. Probaly not as valuable as the 850/1000 with radical body kit and modifications and if you do however own one, it’s probably very valuable! www.whatsinyourpaddock.com.au

Only 1500 of these were built, so if you own one or know of the wherabouts of one, it’s probably quite valuable. Not the most attractive of the Alfa Romeos of the era, but nevertheless interesting. www.whatsinyourpaddock.com.au
