Found this statement below on the ac owners club website, looks like it is based in the UK. AC stated they still had original wooden jigs from 1962 to create a Aluminum body in a official press release in Oct. of 2000. Who knows, but thought it was worth bringing this up.



The AC press release of 17th Oct 2000 states (re 427)
"available to special order at a special price-£150,000 this reflects the thousands of man hours required to hand craft the aluminium bodywork using wooden jigs in use by AC since 1962 and the considerable effort needed to source some of the components"
