2014 Hawk Ace 3528cc Cabrio, en-route to Capesthorne Hall classic May car show, Cheshire, UK
The type of car seen in the sixties, both on the roads and in competition, the Hawk 289 series provides a range of body styles on a common chassis design. Whether you just want a top class kit with this style and appearance, or one which has all the motive power of the originals, Hawk Cars can provide a solution. Hawk 289 With a large number of manufacturers producing 427 replicas, varying greatly in both originality of shape and quality of manufacture, the absence from the market of a high quality, accurate replica of the earlier 289 model was very evident, and it is to the discerning band of people who appreciate the classic lines and subtle styling of this car, we offer the elegant Hawk 289 and its stablemates. Hawk Cars have been responsible for the highly acclaimed HF2000 and 3000 replicas for many years, and the same high, aesthetic and engineering standards have been applied to the Hawk 289 range. In the Hawk 289 range, we feel that we have produced cars which offer Quality, Authenticity and Performance - Cars for the Classic Connoisseur. Hawk 289 These are the only cars of their type with an authentic shaped bodyshell, not only externally but also internally. Areas such as the dashboard and interior door mouldings, which are the usual replica 'give-aways', can be finished as original. Even the shape of the white, spare wheel-well is true to its ancestry. Mechanically, all the Hawk 289s use components from the MGB, although a Jaguar IRS unit can simply be fitted in place of the MGB live axle if required. All chassis are bracketed to accommodate either system so an upgrade to Jaguar can be done at any stage. Front suspension without the crossmember is used, and the steering rack and column are retained. At the back, the axle and modified suspension are used. The MGB brakes are also utilised on the Hawk although a 4 pot, vented conversion is available. An independent suspension upgrade is also available to replace the MGB components with more effect
