About us

AK Sportscars Ltd – otherwise known as Jon (the boss), Wendi (the real boss), Trigger (the right hand man) Mutt and Rodders (the real workers). An average family affair – NO – we are passionate about our product – the AK 427.

It all started in the mid 80’s when Ken ( Jon's Dad) decided to build a kit car. Never one to do things the easy way he spent 18 months making his own pattern and moulds. Along with a good friend Alan Frew (the ‘A’ in ‘AK’), who was in the fabricating business produced the chassis. Although it started as a hobby, demand steadily grew until a decision had to be made whether to continue his glass fibre laminating business or go full time into kit manufacturing. Obviously the car had WON!!!

Production slowly increased so son's Dan and Jon joined Ken. Later with the move to our present industrial unit Trigger too joined the ‘family business’ followed by  Mutt and Rodders. Producing around 40 kits a year someone needed to keep the men working and the coffee cups full, so in came Wendi to keep the job (and the coffee) flowing.

When Rodders joined last year, this completed our team, where each member plays their own role to make our business and the car one of the most respected in the industry.

 

Ken and wife Lynda retired in 2009 from the business, although they are both still involved in the electrical side of things.

 

We the AK team are passionate about our AK427.
