I don't see that it matters how the body/chassis work compares to a Kirkham.

In fact I would assume that the Kirkham body would be better, if not approaching "near perfect".

The value in the AC car is NOT how well it is made compared to others. The value is in the fact that it IS made in England by English craftsman and bears the AC history.

Price vs SAI? It sure looks complicated, but I would not assume J. Price has a case. It appears that presently SAI is in control and I think it will be an up-hill battle for a challenger to change that.

Business, often, is like "war". Peoples lives are on the line. Looseing a contract to your competitor can mean laying off some of your workers. They could loose their house, or wind up divorced because of "money" issues. It's a very serious thing this contracting "war".

To the victor goes the spoils, right or wrong may be lost in translation. I'm NOT saying this is a "good thing" or a "bad thing". It is a "reality", a fact of life.
