"It was my recent pleasure to view CF 38. It is a RHD, silver coupe with an auto box. It has been lowered and had a few other fast-road mods (wider wheels, straight-thru pipes, etc). It sounds like a WWII ground attack aircraft!
The paintwork is a work of art, it's so deep it looks as though you could stand on the roof and swan dive into the bonnet. The interior is immaculate and you could, without fear, eat off the rocker covers.
The car is in Great Britain and the owner wishes to remain anonymous."
"The survival rate is good - even though Keith Moon owned one. A few have 'fallen by the wayside' as ACOC 428 registrar Andy Shepherd puts it - and a small number of 428s are known to have been converted into Cobra replicas, leaving an estimated 25 right-hand drive survivors. CF 38 has a vast history file - and four years ago underwent an extensive restoration programme by a body and chassis specialist well known for its work on ACs and other coachbuilt cars. This included a "bare-metal refurbishment of the bodywork, repaint to the highest standard, with all brightwork rechromed", though the interior said is said to be "original and in exceptionally good condition". Mechanically, it underwent a "thorough overhaul". The owner now describes the 428 as "excellent" in chassis, engine, transmission and wheels and tyres and "faultless" in respect of its body and paintwork. Since the restoration, it has covered only approximately 1500 miles.
AC is the featured marque on the Drivers' Club Walkway at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year, and this car has an invitation to this prestigious historic event. What better way to seal ownership of this splendid and appreciating Anglo-American GT than to enjoy it at one of the world's top motoring events."
