AKS (GB) Brititish Kit manufacturer 50s-60s

AKS (GB) Brititish Kit manufacturer 50s-60s

AKS means Auto Kraft Shells ; based in Southmill Road; Bishops; Stortford ; Herts

Strange I thought covered this unusual and rare British body kit manufacturer


Not a hell of lot of these out there -the body looks like mid 1950s Alfa Romeo Roadster and was clearly modeled on one
History references

a Brief snipet of history
part of A-Z Mark Wheeler delves into the little -know history of the Specials craze of the late 50s ; AKS were imspired by founders Messers Sturgeon and Powell who took their Alfa Romeo Giulietta spyder for the near pretty shell ; first car was AKS continental Mk1 spyder later mk2 a hard top versionwhile mk3 Gt like version with occassional rear seats +bw photos of all 3 models
See: May 1983 Classic & Sportscar (GB) Page 100 Volume 2 Issue 2

I also believe a mention of History was discussed on History of Sp[ecialised cars in British Magazine Classic Cars around 1978 or 1979
