Aquila Sports Cars take over the heritage range of YKC cars New kit car company Aquila have taken over the YKC range of heritage sports cars originally created by Don Burt. The Aquila line up has a strong and worthy heritage. Now being built to the exacting specifications demanded by new owner Milan Mladenovic, the Aquila is built in new premises in Rainham, Essex – quite close to the Ford plant that supplies the Ford Zetec, DOHC, 8-valve, EFI with catalytic converter drive-train.

The Aquila may be stylistically based on the classic era of the 1930s Alfa Romeo road and racing cars but they are thoroughly up to date with 21st century mechanicals.
