"Completed in March of 1969, chassis CF 33 was originally painted dark red. It came equipped with the optional three-speed automatic gearbox that was also lifted out of the Ford Galaxy. Probably first delivered to an English customer, this AC 428 Convertible resurfaced in the 1990s. It was acquired by the current owner for £34,500 in the Brooks Goodwood Festival of Speed auction in 1995. In recent years he had the car completely restored in Italy. The breathtaking result could be first admired at the 2009 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este where the car is pictured here."
