You are correct concerning Brian Angliss - he certainly has no current involvement with AC and I have not seen him since the mid 90's. This is in some respects a shame as he is a really interesting guy to be with and did as much as anyone to resurrect the Cobra. It is often the case in the specialist car business that the love of toys can blind people to the realities of business life. Maybe the saying that "it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" applies though?

The world would certainly be a poorer place if none of us were capable of the sort of emotion that the Cobra can generate. We should be grateful to all those who created it or sustained it. In addition to providing beautifull looks and a thrilling ride it also has the capacity to generate passionate controversy on even the most arcane of elements - from rivet heads upwards!

It may indeed be true that there is still another legal entity that is entitled to call itself AC. The latest invoice I have from them is headed AC Autokraft as opposed to earlier ones that were in the name of AC Car Group Ltd. When I get a spare minute during business hours I will find out from the creditors and/or administrators of the previous company if any other legal entities were spun off following the last restructuring. Has Jim mentioned what Allans current role is? The last time I met them they appeared to be on good terms.
