About AC Cars
Founded in 1901 by the Weller Brothers, AC Cars holds the distinction of being Britain’s oldest active vehicle manufacturer. The company first gained prominence with the Autocarrier, a three-wheel commercial vehicle introduced in 1904. However, it was the launch of the AC Ace in 1953 that cemented its reputation for high-performance sports cars. The Ace eventually evolved into the legendary AC Cobra, a name that remains synonymous with power, prestige, and exclusivity.
Today, AC Cars continues its tradition of innovation and craftsmanship. With manufacturing and development facilities in the UK and Germany, the company collaborates with leading industry suppliers to produce the AC Cobra GT range—heralding a new era for this storied brand.
With its headquarters at Donington and an additional facility on the UK’s south coast, AC Cars remains committed to expanding its production capabilities and maintaining its legacy of automotive excellence.
