AC 428 Fastback - When Italians build an American car for a Briton

April 4, 2022 — Paul Krüger, Stefan Dierkes 46

Pietro Frua knew how to copy himself. In the mid-sixties, he mixed a little Maserati Mistral with a touch of Glas GT and a pinch of his Lotus Elan SS 1600 to create the AC 428. The Cobra in a tailor-made suit had the makings of a great success, which was unfortunately hampered by a far too complex production process and an unwilling supplier. This article tells the story of the AC 428 and shows it in many photos.
