De Beers (United Kingdom) - AllCarIndex

De Beers was a British automotive company established in 1986, known for producing turn-key reproductions of classic sports cars. The company specialized in recreating the MG TD, utilizing a Nissan Sunny chassis, and the AC Cobra, which was based on the Nissan 300 Cedric.

The vehicles featured fiberglass bodywork, which was a common practice for manufacturers aiming to replicate classic designs while keeping production costs manageable. Despite the novelty of their offerings, the company faced challenges in achieving significant commercial success in the competitive automotive market.

De Beers' approach reflected a niche interest in classic car replicas during the 1980s, appealing to enthusiasts who sought the aesthetic of vintage models without the associated maintenance and costs of original vehicles.
