Simply dubbed the ‘AC 428’, the new GT was introduced in Convertible shape at the 1965 Earls Court Motorshow in London. It took another year before the first production car was introduced at the Paris show in October of 1966. The original plan to produce the cars in England never materialized and instead the completed rolling chassis were shipped from AC’s Thames-Ditton factory to Turin in Italy to be fitted with their designer bodies.
