When multi-million pound classics get mistaken for kit cars

Located in a car park is the oldest Porsche in the UK, the 32nd ever made, valued at approximately £2.7 million. This creamy yellow 1950 Porsche 356 hails from the days when Porsches were manufactured in Gmünd, Austria.

With a rich history and never having undergone restoration, this Porsche is a rare gem that would be a prized possession in any billionaire’s collection. Its impeccable originality also makes it a strong contender for prestigious concours events.

Despite its significance, there are still misconceptions about the authenticity of this Porsche. As a dog walker passes by, she innocently asks if the car was built by its current owner. While the owner handles the inquiry gracefully, it highlights the common confusion surrounding classic car replicas.

The Porsche 356, being based on Volkswagen Beetle parts, has inspired numerous replicas over the years. However, with over 75,000 original 356s produced, the genuine ones outnumber the replicas.

Similar challenges exist in the world of classic cars, with iconic models like the Ford GT40 and AC/Shelby Cobra facing a proliferation of replicas. The AC Cobra, in particular, has been a popular choice for self-built replicas for decades.

Amidst this landscape, AC Cars has made the bold decision to move away from producing Cobras. Despite their authentic lineage and striking resemblance to the original Cobras, the company has shifted its focus to models like the Ace Classic, Ace Bristol Classic, and the new Cobra GT Roadster.

By embracing new opportunities and diversifying their offerings, AC Cars is charting a new course in the world of classic car manufacturing.
