I read franklemire's recent interesting post on 1:18 forum regarding his Cobra. This prompted me to post a few pertaining to this car I bought this year in 1:43 scale. Its interesting to see the AC transition(s). These are all inexpensive models but very decent quality for the money IMO.
Dark grey Norev AC Ace; Red AC Cobra X2 by Bang; Red AC Aceca by Oxford.

Very nice selection Jack. I have a couple of Bang versions. I must look for that fine Oxford AC Aceca. Love that coupe.

Yes the coupe is quite nice but to be honest I wish I had bought it in the very dark green that is offered now; it is IMHO a gorgeous color on this car. Oxford has pleasantly surprised me in the last 6 months or so...quality for money!

The Ace was previously made by Neo. The windscreen could have been better though. Neo also made a nice AC Greyhound.

@mg-harv I had the NEO roadster but it was stolen, sadly I agree about the windscreen height....odd that NEO wouldn't have been pickier about that (one of the many reasons I like Goldvarg models so much by comparison). The Greyhound is a very nice model...something to save for in the near future. Lol.
