This is an AC "Ace" what eventually became the Cobra . . Was oiriginally a 2 litre 6 Cylinder...
There was another version made in conjunction with Bristol (The AC-Bristol) and it had a 2.2L 6 in it.
It took an american to come along and add a bunch of weight to the frontand call it "better"
I mean, there is no denying that an AC Cobra goes like hell, especially with the 427, . . . they just don't corner or brake real well . . .
