There is a modern take on this story that somewhat unrelated but similar.
Morgan sports cars .. they lost the Rover/buick v8 engine, not the only engine in there range of sportscars but the most powerful offering they had.
Now they use BMW supplied V8 engines... i doubt BMW went grovelling to morgan for them to use their engines. I somewhat imagine Morgan put a heart felt business plan to them for the use and supply of BMW drivetrain products.
I never heard of a story of AC cars head hunting Ole Shel...
He took a chance on AC it worked in his favour , AC was not short of budding people to take the ACE forward ... If only they had followed on with Ken Rudd, that would of been a interesting twist on
