Just checked out the Aussie built one [the one that brock crashed and died in]its a company related to MoTec founder.

Its a pity the car did not reach its full potential, its reputation is now tarnished.

Not to bad value for $135k + GST

The chassis looks massive, hard to believe that the tree brock drove into killed him.

Rather one of these then say that silly overpriced HSV with 7L donk in it.

I was attracted to your page from the photo. AC made a largely unknown factory coupe. I saw one on a car lot years ago (late 60′s). I was told the model was named “AC asecka” (sp). I am not saying some design work for this car was not done by who you claim, however the “Daytona coupe” hardtop AC looks largely like the coupe directly from the AC factory. Please advise

Good review. Got all the facts right! When you walk up to this car it takes about 2 hours just to look at it from many angles to get all of it beauty. Peter Brock hit it out of the ball park on the original and the new Brock Daytona Coupe version now avalible.

No Tony, not to belittle the fantastic efforts of Mr. Brock, but the Daytona Cobra was very famous before that tragic event.

You don’t need a few million dollars. There are many Daytona replica’s out there that perform just as well.
