Pderouss, Thank you for your compliment. I found out from another thread that Brain Angliss is on the Isle of Guernsey, retired now with his motorcycle collection wherever that may be and that he had left AC in 1996 or so on unfriendly terms.

As far as my car, Paramount Films ordered four chassis' from AC in 1968. All were shipped to Rome for the movie. The first two chassis were used but the last two, COB 6131 and COB 6132 were not used. I believe COB 6131 was built into a RHD twin turbo monster by Rod Leach (COB1) and still resides with him in your neck of the woods. Mine therefore is the last chassis built by the orginal AC factory and purchased by Brian Angliss.
